Meets
That season, Stokke was a competitor at the Pac-10 Conference and also the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) regional meets. Again, “fans” showed up to cheer her on while others set themselves up strategically to take photos in particular angles. All of which bothered Stokke but she noticed that was becoming just another part of her life.
Year Two
During her second year, her pole vaulting coach was Scott Slover, a former 5-time All-American at UCLA. Slover taught Stokke well as she went on to finish 8th at the Pac-10 Championships and 7th at the MPSF Indoor Championships. Plus she got her debut at the NCAA Women’s Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where she ranked 19th through her best effort of 3.90 m (12 ft 9 1⁄2 in). She was really proud of herself but that just meant more photos for her “fans” to ogle.
