Lavin clipped the first hurdle but recovered to continue her national championship winning run.

Adam Nolan of Carlow defended his crown in the men’s event.

Olympian Sarah Healy also broke a championship record in the 1500m inside 4:12.37 and will run in the final today.

Meanwhile, Marcus Lawler looked back to his brilliant best en route to breaking the 200m championship record with a stunning 20.74.

Lawler has been in flying form this indoor season and broke Mark Smyth’s existing 20.77 record.

He said: “I was the form runner coming into these championships and I had a couple of PBs along the way.

“But it’s been a long time since I picked up a national title, so I’m delighted.

“I’m 30 in a couple of days’ time and that’s an indoor PB. I’m thrilled.”

Katie Bergin stormed to her first national senior indoor title with a superb performance in the 200m final to cross in 24.03.
