In a spectacular start to 2024, Rachela Pace, hailing from Pembroke Athletica Athletics & Triathlon, and currently pursuing studies at Fresno State University in the U.S., has set the stage ablaze at the 2024 Spokane Sports Showcase, WA, USA. Breaking records with a bang, Rachela unveiled a massive new Women's Triple Jump National Record.

Despite facing a setback with a No Jump on her second attempt, Rachela's resilience shone through as she delivered a remarkable series of jumps.

Her distances of 12.74m, 12.99m, 12.77m, 13.02m, and a stunning 13.29m not only surpassed the previous Indoor Triple Jump Record but also etched her name at the summit of the All-Time Rankings.

This extraordinary achievement marks a triumphant beginning for Rachela Pace in the competitive arena for 2024.

A big congratulations to Rachela for this outstanding accomplishment!
