    Olivia McTaggart is keen to keep improving, after winning the women's pole vault at the Oceania Championships in Queensland


    The Kiwi cleared 4.50 metres to claim the gold.

    But McTaggart feels she's got some bigger heights to hit - with the world champs coming up next month in Oregon.



    Team-mate Imogen Ayris cleared 4.40 to claim silver.
