Finding The Right Sport For Her
As most of us will know, finding our passions takes a fair amount of trying different things. For Allison, the search was a lot simpler, and after just one try of pole vaulting, she was hooked to the sport. You might even go as far as to say that she “picked up the pole and ran with it”. Right from the start, she believed that she could be a terrific pole vaulter, and in no time at all, she indeed became one of the youngest and most successful vaulters in the country. At 15, she cleared 12.5 feet, which got the attention of talent scouts in a major way.

Developing Her Skills in Freshman Year
Allison knew that to maintain a high level she was going to need to push herself to train hard and get better at her craft. In her freshman year, she took things to a whole new level, which paid off in a major way when she started breaking her own records. She continued to raise the bar over time, eventually clearing 12 feet and 8 inches, followed by 13 feet, making an even better record than her U.S title-winning jump from when she was only fifteen.
