One of the world's fastest women will take to the track at the University of Limerick (UL) tomorrow, 22-year-old American Gabby Thomas the undoubted main attraction at the international athletics match between UL and a combined team from Harvard and Yale.

Thomas was one of the break-out stars of global sprinting last year, the Harvard student storming to the NCAA indoor 200m title in 22.38 and clocking a blazing 22.19 at the London Diamond League. Since going pro she has lowered her 100m PB to 11.10, while she also has a wind-assisted 10.99 to her name.
