Pole vaulter Sue Yeomans returned from the Open Graded Competition at Lee Valley with a new V55 British record.
Yeomans, now competing for St Albans Athletics Club, set a height of 2.76m to claim the record – beating the previous height of 2.70m.
Not content with just a British record she attempted to break the European record of 2.91m. Unfortunately on this occasion she came up short but her early season form will continue when she travels to Jyvaskyla Finland in April for the World Indoor Championships.
