Elizaveta Parnova has moved past her famous aunt Tatiana Grigorieva and into equal fourth spot on the Australian all-time list with a spectacular victory in the women's pole vault at the Oceania championships in Townsville.
Parnova, 25, defied difficult windy conditions to go clear at 4.60m on her third and final attempt on Friday, adding 4cm to her previous PB set earlier this year.
In the process, she exceeded the career best of 4.58m by Grigorieva, the 2000 Sydney Olympics silver medallist.
The only three Australians to have vaulted higher than Parnova are Alana Boyd, Kym Howe and Nina Kennedy, all of whom spent time being coached by her father Alex Parnov.
"It just felt so good," said Parnova, who was presented with the gold medal on Friday by Grigorieva.
"The jump itself - I can't describe it.
"I just closed my eyes and did the best that I could and it ended up being such a great jump."
After setting her previous PB in January, Parnova suffered a badly rolled ankle.
"It's been such a difficult road back but I'm just so pleased that I managed to piece everything together," she said.
"I'm really looking forward to the European summer now."
Australian teenager Riley Day stormed home to win the women's 200m, denying New Zealander Zoe Hobbs a sprint double.
Day clocked a winning time of 23.51 ahead of Hobbs (23.68) and Australia's Nana Owusu-Afriyie (23.86).
"I knew it was going to be a really tough race but I just tried to stick to doing my own race and not seeing everyone else which was hard because they were in front most of the way," said Day.
"I really surprised myself with the last 50."
Jeremy Dodson of Samoa was a shock winner of the men's 200m in 21.11.
Australian Jake Doran injured his right hamstring coming off the bend and did not finish the race.
Harry Summers was a runaway winner of the men's 10,000m in 29:19.99.
