Rush finishes with silver in Southeastern Conference Outdoor Championships heptathlon with seven Gibraltar national records

Recently registered Gibraltar athlete Ella Rush continued her momentum in the Southeastern Conference Outdoor Championships in Auburn, US, for Georgia University, being among her teams scorers in the third day of event on Friday.
Ella. a Senior at Georgia University improved in what had been her bronze medal finishes in 2024 and 2025 with a silver this season. She scored 5,767 points to finish one point ahead of Oklahoma's Angel Richmore for second. Rush had come in from fourth with 3,391 points after Thursday's events.
Rush opened her final day of events with a personal-best mark of 6.32m/20-9 to win the long jump. She was then to approach her season best in the javelin with her only fair toss of 32.94m/108-1 to finish 12th concluding her seven events by taking fourth in the 800m with a 2:14.83. A time which is once again below Kim Baglietto's national record established in 2009.
Notably, all her seven events at the Southeastern Conference Outdoor Championship show her times and distances beating Gibraltar National records in every event, although these would need to be verified by the GAAA officially before they are recorded as such.
