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. This is somewhat more impressive than her U.S title-winning jump from when she was only fifteen.

She topped her pole vaulting record once again that year, clearing a staggering 13 feet and 6 inches.
