Sommer Lecky won gold at the National Senior Indoor Championships in Dublin this afternoon.
The Finn Valley AC woman leapt to gold with a jump of 1.86 metres – an attempt that equalled her Irish Junior and Under-23 indoor records.
Lecky, the 2018 World silver medallist who is coached by Niall Wilkinson, won an event in Ghent last weekend ahead of competition in Abbotstown today.
