Michael Jordan
Even though Allison broke her leg, she went on to win at the CIF California State Meet – TWICE. Then during her senior year at high school, she ranked second at the national high school rankings; all thanks to her new best of 4.14 m (13 ft 6 3⁄4 in). Oh, that record of hers is actually double Michael Jordan’s height! At the end of the year, she finished in 8th place at the national junior championships.
Where It All Started
So, the photo below is the same one that first put her in the spotlight. It was 2007 and Stokke was competing in New York when the famous photo was captured by a journalist for a Californian track and field website. The journalist added the photos online and bam! May arrived and the photo was re-posted by a sports blog known as ‘With Leather’. This particular blog has a very large male fanbase, who immediately began to remark on Stokke’s attractiveness – she was quite young when this photo was posted. Oh, and the heading the blog chose: “Pole Vaulting is Sexy, Barely Legal”.
