Allison was only halfway through high school, but she was already showing more promise than most professional athletes. A fierce competitor with a drive to succeed, young pole vaulters all across the United States knew that Stokke was one to watch.
There was almost no-one her age that could beat her, and she was still only at the start of her career. When Allison attended the national championships as a senior, she went even higher than before, adding an extra inch to her record. She ended up placing eighth overall.

2007 was an incredible year for Stokke thanks to her incredible achievements in the sporting world. However, her performances in the pole vaulting event weren’t what people were talking about by the end of the championships.
It was while Allison was waiting for her turn at one of her events that a photo was taken of the athlete. There was nothing particularly special about it, but it attracted a lot of interest when it was published on ‘With Leather.’ Little did Stokke know how much that photo would affect her life.
