It was the Clonliffe Harriers athlete’s first event of the 2025 outdoor season and maiden appearance at this level.

The Limerick native clocked a time of 23.31 in the 200m to win her heat and leave her ninth on the Irish all-time list for the event.
Meanwhile, Sophie Becker finished second in her heat with a time of 23.60.
Also in Belgium today, Cillín Greene produced a time of 32.68, leaving the Galway City Harriers AC athlete second on the Irish senior all-time list over 300m.
It has been an encouraging weekend for Irish athletics, with Sharlene Mawdsley and Efrem Gidey among the stars to impress on Saturday.
