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.
