The Olympics medal hope cleared 4.82m on her first attempt at the Sydney Track Classic, adding 7cm to her personal best
Vaulter Nina Kennedy has used one of Alana Boyds old poles to smash the two-time Commonwealth champions Australian record. On a night at the Sydney Track Classic where several of Australias leading female athletes excelled, Kennedy was the standout.
The 23-year-old powered over the bar at 4.82m at her first attempt on Saturday, adding 7cm to her personal best and consigning the five-year-old mark of 4.81m set by the now-retired Boyd to the history books.
