Athlete Kreete Verlin sets new 100m hurdles PB in Tartu

Kreete Verlin won the women's 100-meter hurdles with a new personal best of 13.11 at the Estonian athletics cup competition held on Sunday at Tartu's Tamme Stadium.
"I'm pretty satisfied," Verlin told ERR. "The start phase maybe wasn't as confident as in the warm-up. But I'll take it – 13.11. A six-hundredth PB – I'm very happy. I feel there's still room for improvement too."
Estonia's third-fastest all-time hurdler, Verlin improved her previous PB (13.17) by six hundredths of a second despite coming back from a mild illness.
Diana Suumann was second with a time of 13.23 and Anna Maria Millend third (13.25). The domestic record of 12.93 was set by Mirjam Liimask 20 years ago.
