Sarah Lavin and Nick Griggs produced the standout performances from the Irish at the 70th edition of the Cork City Sports on Tuesday night, with Lavin blasting to victory in the 100m hurdles in 12.83 seconds and Griggs finishing third in the 3,000m in an Irish U-23 record of 7:41.68.

On a cool, windy night at the newly opened track at Munster Technological University, Lavin unleashed a clean, crisp display of hurdling to power clear of USA’s Talie Bonds (12.95) and Liberia’s Ebony Morrison (13.15).
