Just 18 when she made her Paralympics debut in Rio, she finished eighth in her T13 100m final.
In 2017 she was sixth in the final of the World Championships in London and, a year later won two bronze medals (100/200m) at the European Championships in Berlin.
The Raheny Shamrock athlete qualified an automatic slot for Paris 2024 with a fourth-place finish at the 2023 Para Athletics World Championships in a final that went to a photo finish to crown first and second place and clocked Comerford's fourth place only 0.06 of a second away from the podium.
In June she ran her first legal sub 12 second race, a PB of 11.90 in the 100m final at the national senior track and field championships in Morton Stadium.
