Finally, after more than a year, it seemed that things were looking up for Stokke once again. During her freshman year in college, the pole vaulter proved she was still a force to be reckoned with, once again demolishing records wherever she went. By the end of the year, Stokke had set a new college freshman record height of 13 feet, 5 ¾ inches. The comeback had finally begun in earnest!
The following year was no different. During her sophomore year, Stokke managed to come in at number eight during the Pac-10 Championship and also began competing at the NCAA’s Women’s Division. And the wins would just keep on coming!
