Molly Caudery Sets British Pole Vault Record with World-Leading Jump
Molly Caudery set a new British women’s pole vault record and recorded the world’s best height of the year so far, winning the Toulouse Capitole Perche meet in France.
The 24-year-old, who became the world indoor champion in March, cleared 4.92m, marking the seventh-best jump of all time. This jump is the highest by any female pole vaulter since 2021.
Caudery’s new record surpasses Holly Bradshaw’s previous British record of 4.90m, set in 2021. Her previous best was 4.86m, set in February, which was the world-leading mark for 2024 until now.
Earlier this month, Caudery also cleared 4.73m to win bronze at the European Championships in Rome.
