Allison Stokke was born on March 22, 1989, in Newport Beach, California. Raised in an athletic family, she was inspired by her older brother, David Stokke, a national-level youth gymnast. Encouraged by her family environment, Allison initially pursued gymnastics. However, she later transitioned to pole vaulting during her time at Newport Harbor High School, where she began to excel in the sport.
Allison quickly emerged as one of the leading young pole vaulters in the United States. In 2004, she set a national high school record for freshmen with a vault of 3.86 meters. The following year, as a sophomore, she broke another national record by clearing 4.11 meters. Although she suffered a leg injury during high school, she remained competitive, winning the CIF California State Meet twice. In her senior year, she achieved a personal best of 4.14 meters and was ranked second nationally among high school pole vaulters.
Allison continued to compete in pole vaulting while attending the University of California, Berkeley. She recorded strong performances as a student-athlete, though she did not reach elite international rankings. Allison graduated from Berkeley with a degree in sociology, not a master's degree as sometimes misconstrued.
In 2007, a photo of Allison taken at a track and field competition was posted to a sports blog and quickly went viral. Though the original intent was athletic coverage, the attention shifted toward her physical appearance. As websites and social media platforms widely circulated her images, Allison received an overwhelming amount of unsolicited attention. She later expressed discomfort about the situation, stating that her years of hard work in athletics were overshadowed by superficial commentary.
Trying to shift the focus back to athletics, Allison participated in an interview highlighting her pole vaulting technique, which amassed over 100,000 views on YouTube. However, she noted that the public conversation continued to center on her looks, a situation she described as demeaning and unsettling.
In addition to her athletic endeavors, Allison ventured into sportswear modeling. In 2015, she worked with brands such as Nike, Inc. and Athleta. She also collaborated with GoPro, producing a series of promotional videos that showcased her pole vaulting from unique angles using their action cameras. These projects offered a closer look at the technical elements of the sport while aligning with performance-oriented branding.
During the lead-up to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, there was some speculation about Allison's continued training, though she ultimately did not make the Olympic team. As of recent updates, she has continued to engage in athletics and media opportunities but has shifted focus away from competitive pole vaulting. Despite her online popularity and media presence, as of the latest available information, she remains unmarried and does not have children. Reports estimate her net worth to be around $100,000, primarily derived from athletics and endorsement deals.
