It also moved her to sixth on the all-time Irish senior indoor list, in a year where she also produced personal bests at 400m (55.41"), 600m (1'29.31") and with the 4*400m relay team at the European championships in Bergen (3'34.81").
After being hampered by injuries in recent years, she's back on track and competing in major championships with Los Angeles 2028 still the target.

Kiltormer brothers Aidan and Fergal Lenehan have come together to write a new book about Aidan's involvement with the formation of a hurling and camogie club in football-dominated north county Dublin.
'Grit and Glory: A Decade at the Club' tells the story of the Wild Geese hurling and camogie club and is a narrative of survival marked by humour, and also tragedy, in which a simple act of playing a game with your neighbours and friends, the immense meaning this can have and the sense of community it creates, takes centre stage.
Aidan Lenehan joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on 'Over The Line' to chat about the book.

'Grit and Glory: A Decade at the Club' is available from Charlie Burns, Kennys, News N Choose, and Salmons bookshops.
