UK pole vault No.1 Kate Dennison (Sale Harriers Manchester) continued her fine start to the indoor season by finishing third at the 3^rd annual Springermeeting in Dresden, Germany, tonight.

After winning her previous two competitions at 4.35m and 4.23m, she cleared 4.30m to snatch third place on count back at one of Germany’s increasingly prestigious ‘jumping to music’ meetings, which attracted competitors from a dozen nations.

The former World Youth and World Junior Champion Lisa Ryzih (Germany) won with 4.40m – the qualifying height for this winter’s IAAF World Indoor Championships – while runner-up Silke Spiegelburg (also Germany) was one of five competitors to clear 4.30m.
