Amanda takes pole vault record

Umina resident Amanda Bartrim has won the Australian all-school pole vault and has the new under-16 NSW pole vault record of 3.32 metres.

Amanda had previously won the NSW all-schools 14-year-old girls' pole vault two years running.

She has also placed third in the Opens Women's competition earlier this year, as well as placing third in the under-16 girls NSW youth championships in March, and again at the Mingara pre-summer competition in August.

"She had set her sights on the record that has been there since 2001 and she has broken it by one centimetre," said family member Mr Brett Williams said.

"She also broke the little athletics under-15 high jump record at Mingara last Saturday."
