Machin soars to new heights to break GB record

17 August, 2019 By Melanie Anning

Congratulations to Brighton and Hove AC coach and athlete, Julia Machin, who broke her own British W45 high jump record on Saturday with a leap of 1.67m.

Competing for her  club at the last Southern Athletics League fixture of the season, at Dartford, Machin soared effortlessly over the record height and just missed out on 1.70m.

The multi-talented Machin is a former GB international high jumper. She has a best of 1.92m from 1990 and is ranked 11th on the  UK all time list.

Watch Julia's record breaking jump here.
