Amy Chow and the “magnificent seven” made
headlines at the 1996 Olympic games when they won the team
gold in women’s gymnastics. Chow, ’01, also earned
silver on the uneven bars that year. Since then, she’s
taken her leaping ability to new heights. The Stanford
medical student took first place at the May 1 Cardinal Invitational—in
the pole vault. Any new Olympic dreams? “Right
now I’m just doing it for fun,” says Chow, whose
winning height was 12 feet, 9 1/2 inches.
