The attention that Allison was receiving was so overwhelming that it’s almost like she didn’t exist from 2009 and 2014. “At that point, I wasn’t the best vaulter in the country, so why should I be getting that much attention?” she says. “It cut the other way, too, though. I think at some point Cal just decided: ‘Don’t put anything up about her.’ So even if I jumped high or won a meet, they wouldn’t put up a picture or article, and that’s actually the kind of recognition I would have liked to see.”
