4. Allison Stokke
Sport: Track and Field
In 2007, a picture of then-17 year old high school student Allison Stokke adjusting her hair at a track meet shook the Internet to its core. Creeps from all corners of the globe descended on the standout pole vaulter, birthing a web phenomenon and making Stokke a household name in dorm rooms everywhere. After a strong career at Cal, this reluctant celebrity has continued competing as she works to land a spot on the 2016 Olympic team. It’s fair to say most people are hoping this quest is successful, as it would actually make watching Olympic pole vaulting interesting for the first time in history. (complex.com).
