She also set a school record in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.37 seconds, surpassing the previous record of 8.42s set by Funmi Jimoh in 2004.
Tara Simpson-Sullivan had a strong showing in the weight throw, finishing second with a throw of 20.86m. Josie Taylor finished second in the high jump with a clearance of 1.81m, while sister Alice Taylor was sixth with a clearance of 1.71m.
