Stoneleigh pole vaulter Jade Ive lept into the record books at the weekend, all but booking her place on a plane bound for India for the Commonwealth Youth Games in October.

The 16-year-old became the first U20 Brit to clear the 4m mark at Sunday's National Junior Indoor Championships.

She is already in the GB squad for July's World Junior Championships in Poland and now looks set to add an England vest to her list of honours.

Her form is in contrast to brother Joe, who is laid up with a back injury and contemplating his future in the sport.

Joe, 20, cleared a personal best 5.40m last season to claim the English U20 and U23 title.

But dad Steve fears his children may have to seek better competition abroad if they are to fulfil their potential.

"There is too much standing around at competitions in this country because there isn't the quality of field. That is why Joe got injured," he said.

"Jade is doing brilliantly.

"Provided she can keep jumping higher her funding will hopefully increase and she might be able to look elsewhere for better competition."

l Jade had equalled her previous best of 3.90m in winning the U17 pole vault at the Brunel University indoor meeting. Herne Hill's Rosa Williams was runner-up (3.20m).

Kingston & Polytechnic's Dominique Blaize won the women's high jump (1.80m).

Clubmate Gordon Lester won the men's U17 event (4m).

Kingston's Ryan Clancy was runner-up in the men's U17 high jump (1.70m), and Patrick Hillyer runner-up in the men's U17 triple jump with 11.65m.

Epsom & Ewell's Adam Bosher was third in the junior men's pole vault (3.90m).

Hampton's Ashley Bryant was fourth in the junior long jump (6.57m) and high jump (1.80m).
