Allison Rebecca Stokke (born March 22, 1989) is an American track and field athlete and fashion model. She broke a number of American records for high school pole vaulting. At the age of eighteen, images of her were widely shared on the internet resulting in her becoming an internet phenomenon. Her unsought sex symbol status was covered nationally and internationally and informed debate on the sexualization of sportswomen and of young people via the internet. Stokke continued to pole vault, attending University of California, Berkeley and competing for their California Golden Bears collegiate track team. After college she became a professional vaulter and sports model for Nike and Athleta, among others.
Images of Stokke competing in New York in early 2007 were taken by a journalist for a Californian track and field website and placed online. In May, the image was then re-posted by With Leather, a sports blog with a large male fanbase, remarking on the attractiveness of eighteen-year-old Stokke under the heading "Pole Vaulting is Sexy, Barely Legal".
