How A Single Photo Changed This Pole Vaulter’s Life

Breaking her own records

Allison tried everything to be the best pole-vaulting star in high school. She often broke her own records. In 2004, she managed a jump of 12 feet 8 inchs. She felt she had to improve so she shattered the record much later in her life. She jumped 13 feet 53/4 inch high. It was a huge jump considering that most people cannot even manage a 5 3/4 inch jump.
