For the seventh time this year Kate Dennison has beaten her own British pole vault record at a meeting in Szczecin, Poland.
The cold fourth edition of Pedro’s Cup meet, which took place yesterday in Szczecin’s Wieslaw Maniak Stadium, once again boasted an impressive lineup of major names from Britain.
25-year-old Dennison cleared the 4.60m post to better her own record by two centimeters, coming third overall.
The Sale Harriers athlete broke fellow team GB vaulter, Janine Whitlock’s record earlier in the year at the UK trials.
Dennison improved on this again at athletics meetings in Prague, Madrid and on home ground at Crystal Palace.
