Rickie Fowler can be the best in golf, but his wife, Allison Stokke, will be the best in pole vaulting. Similar to Fowler, Stokke is a professional athlete and a big name in the pole vaulting world. Golf Monthly reports that Stokke first picked up the sport in high school, where she went on to break multiple records. According to People, she was so good that she was recruited by some big-name schools, but ultimately accepted an offer for a scholarship to the University of Berkley, California. Just like her time in high school, Stokke broke records and went on to place eighth at the Pac-10 Championship.

When Stokke went to college, she was at the height of her career, and she truly believed that she had the potential to make the 2012 Olympics, per Valiant CEO. Unfortunately, when Stokke tried out, she fell short of the 4.25 m needed to qualify for the Olympics, so the dream had to come to an end. But, the pole vaulter made the most of her success, and she might not have gone to the Olympics, but she did work with some top brands. Stokke collaborated with Nike and Athletic Athleisure in 2015 and Uniqlo in 2016. She even had a brief vlogging era when she worked with the brand GoPro and made several videos on YouTube. However, by 2017, Stokke’s career in pole vaulting began to die down and she ultimately stopped her professional athlete career.
