Dennison was born in South Africa and her mother swam for Zambia. She is a former gymnast and was the first British junior to vault over 4.00m.
She finally broke Janine Whitlock's British indoor record at the 2009 Aviva UK Indoor Champs, before improving the mark one week later at the Aviva Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix with a height of 4.46m, despite having back surgery in the off-season. In Turin at the European Championships, Dennison placed sixth, which surpassed many people's predictions. Dennison capped off a fine indoor season with an outright British record in Oyannax, vaulting 4.49m, to improve Whitlock's record by 2cm.
She has improved the British record nine times in 2009 and at the World Championships in Berlin she finished in an excellent sixth place. In Szczecin, Poland she took the British record to new heights again with a clearance of 4.60m in September. In 2010 she finished in 6th place in the European Championships and at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi as pre-event favourite finished in a disappointing bronze medal position.
Kate hails from a sporty family and once finished 4th in the U12 National Gymnastic Championships. Her brother was an international gymnast when younger.
She has a degree in psychology from Staffordshire University. Her hobbies outside of athletics include: watching films, photography and has also down some rock climbing. |
