Estonian pole vaulter Marleen Mülla has set a new national record at a collegiate athletics competition held in Fayetteville, USA, with a jump of 4.60 meters. This achievement adds to her impressive record of raising her personal best consistently over recent years, having surpassed previous heights of 4.55 and 4.57 meters earlier this year. As she celebrates her 25th birthday this summer, Mülla continues to demonstrate significant progress in her athletic career, training and studying in South Dakota.

In this latest competition, Mülla's performance earned her a second-place finish, narrowly missing out on the top spot to her teammate Anna Willisi, who also cleared 4.60 meters but did so with one less attempt. This showcases the competitive environment within her college athletics program, underlining the talent and skill present at the meet. The event marks Mülla's fourth competition of the indoor season, during which she has progressively improved her jumps, adding to her already impressive personal records.

Mülla's success not only highlights her personal achievements but also positions her among the top Estonian athletes in pole vaulting history. With a current record of 4.60 meters, she surpasses former record-holder Inkeri Moser, who achieved a height of 4.52 meters. The gap to the next performance, held by Reena Koll at 4.36 meters, further emphasizes Mülla's exceptional standing in the sport, marking her as a significant figure in Estonian athletics as she continues her journey towards more records and accomplishments.
