From strength to strength
Only halfway through high school, Allie was already outperforming most professional athletes. Young pole vaulters all across the United States knew that Stokke was one to keep an eye on, as she was a fierce competitor with a desire to succeed.
She was at the top of her class, having almost no competition. She was still in her early 20s and had only just begun working as an actress. When Allison competed at the national championships as a senior, she raised the bar even higher, adding an extra inch to her record. In the end, she finished eighth overall.
