Sarah Healy broke her own championship record en route to winning the women's 1500m title on day two of the 123.ie National Senior Indoor Championships, while fellow Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley also retained her 400m crown and Bori Akinola got the better of Israel Olatunde in the men's 60m final at the National Sports Campus in Dublin.
UCD AC's Healy ran a time of 4:08.74, which bettered the previous championship record she had set just 24 earlier in the heats. Lucy Holmes (West Waterford AC) and Amy O'Donoghue (Dundrum South Dublin AC) took silver and bronze respectively.
"I've done all the senior championships apart from European Indoors, which is slightly ironic given it's the easiest one to qualify for," Healy said.
"But I definitely have hopes. I know I have a chance at a medal but I am not focusing on that too much because you have to keep thinking about the process and train for the next few weeks.
"And I think you can want something too much and it can weigh on you so it's an opportunity but it's not the be all and end all of everything."
Healy added that training with British Olympic medalists like Keely Hodgkinson and Georgia Bell has been having a galvanising effect.
"It's the mindset, I suppose, seeing that they're normal people and everything. I train a lot more with Georgia than Keely, and Keely and I are quite different athletes, so our training looks different but with Georgia last summer I saw I can do a lot of what she does.
"We have different strengths and weaknesses, which is great, so she helps me work on my weaknesses as a 1500 runner and hopefully I can help her - not that she has many weaknesses."
Cathal Doyle of Clonliffe Harriers, meanwhile, retained his men's 1500m title in a winning time of 3:58.10, ahead of Lughaidh Mallon and Brhane Gebrebrhan.
In the women's 400m, Sharlene Mawdsley took gold in a time of 51.91, ahead of fellow Paris 2024 Olympians Phil Healy and Rachel McCann.
"I still crossed the line and it's a sub-52 and I'm still disappointed but, you know, that's three runs in two days and I was definitely feeling fatigue. But to come away with the title, I'm really, really happy," Mawdsley said, before setting her sights on Apeldoorn.
"Obviously I want to get into that (European) final, that's no secret, so hopefully just get through one round at a time in Apeldoorn."
She added: "I was feeling that fatigue in the last 50m and in Apeldoorn I'm going to have girls challenging me on that last 50, so that will be really exciting and scary but I think I'm now putting myself in the race and that's something I'm really proud of."
Seventeen-year-old Conor Kelly (Derry Track Club) set a new U20 national 400m record just 24 hours on from clocking his previous landmark to take gold in 46.54 in the men's race. David Bosch and Sean Doggett finished in the other podium positions.
Israel Olatunde went out on his shield in defence of his 60m title, handing over top spot on the podium to Bori Akinola (UCD AC) who stormed to a 6.61 to claim his first senior title in a thrilling finish.
Max O'Reilly won silver in 6.69 ahead of Olatunde who had to settle for bronze (6.72).
"It feels amazing, I'm just grateful to be here," Akinola said in the wake of his winning run.
"I was nursing a hamstring injury and I wasn't quite sure how today was going to go but I'm just happy that I was able to come to the start line, compete with no issues, actually run a personal best as well was amazing."
He added that matching Olympian Paul Hession as the second fastest of all-time nationally behind Olatunde was another source of pride.
"(Hession) is a legend and to be able to actually walk where he walked and actually match his time is amazing. It bodes well for the outdoor season now."
The women's 60m final saw Sarah Leahy (Killareny Valley) regain the the title in 7.39, finishing ahead of a resurgent Ciara Neville (Emerald AC) and Sive O’Toole (St Laurence O'Toole AC).
Louise Shanahan (Leevale AC) took gold in the women's 800m with a time of 2:07.82, while Kevin McGrath (Bohermeen AC) won the men's final in 1:51.11.
Sean Tobin (Clonmel AC) and James Gormley (Carmen Runners) produced one of the finishes of the day in the men's 3000m. Tobin was first to make his move and held on superbly to cross in a winning time of 8:09.18 from Gormley in second and Calum Morgan in third.
In the women's final, Roisin Flanagan (Finn Valley) ran away from the field to take the title in a winning time of 9:13.51, ahead of Ide Ni Dhomhaill and last year’s silver medallist Niamh Kearney.
