My Take
Stacy Dragila is a pioneer first and a champion second in my book, though she's both. An Olympic gold medalist and repeat world champion out of Auburn, California, she rose right as women's pole vault was earning its place on the biggest stages. That timing matters enormously to me: she wasn't just winning, she was charting a route nobody had run before, pole in hand. The grit she built at Idaho State clearly carried her to the summit. Records fade, but showing the next generation of girls that the sky was theirs to leap into is the legacy I find most moving and most lasting.
