Peers gets Davis Cup call up ahead of Dubai semifinal
Alana Boyd (WA) and John Steffensen (WA) have entertained a home crowd with convincing wins in the pole vault and 400m respectively at the second leg of the Qantas Australian Athletics Tour tonight, while Sally Pearson (Qld) returned to the hurdles.
In front of a record crowd of 3600 at the Go for 2&5 Perth Track Classic, Boyd continued her impressive domestic campaign, bettering the then personal best of 4.61m she set at the Adelaide Track Classic two weeks ago with a 4.66m clearance.
No Australian woman has gone higher outdoors in the pole vault ever, with Kym Howe having recorded 4.65m in Germany five years ago to previously hold the best mark.
