New Zealand pole vaulter
Melina Dawn Hamilton (born 15 June 1976 in Rotorua[1]) is a retired New Zealand athlete who specialised in the pole vault.[2] She represented her country at the 2004 Summer Olympics, as well as two World Championships, without reaching the final.
Her personal bests of 4.40 metres outdoors (2003) and 4.20 metres indoors (2004) were at the time national records; both were broken in 2014 by Eliza McCartney.
