Rhasidat Adeleke's impressive progress in the USA continued after she broke Phil Healy's Irish 200m record with a brilliant time of 22.96 at the Big 12 Championships in Manhattan on Saturday night.
The hugely talented sprinter also broke the Irish U-20 and U-23 100m records with an 11.31 run that moved her to second on the all-time 100m list behind Healy (11.28).
Last month the 18-year-old shattered Emily Maher's 21-year-old Irish junior 200m record (23.34) when she clocked 23.27. A week later, Adeleke lowered that time to 23.25.
Currently on a scholarship at the University of Texas, she's been turning heads since a superb schools career, which included a sprint double at the European Youth Olympics in Baku in 2019.
The Tallaght AC star was part of Ireland's 4x100m relay team that won silver at the 2018 World U-20 championships in Finland.
The finals of the Big 12 meet take place tonight, with Adeleke set to compete in the finals of the 100m and 200m.
