AT THE RISK OF getting carried away with ourselves, it doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to tag Valarie Allman with GOAT status. For American women throwers, that is…
HER 2025 NUMBERS were nothing short of outrageous as her undefeated 14-meet season found her producing 10 of the 11 farthest throws. The topper, an American Record 241-2 (73.52) lifted her to No. 6 on the all-time world list and was the planet’s farthest throw since ’89 (no, really!)…
IN ’08 STEPHANIE BROWN TRAFTON became the first American woman ever to score a No. 1 with the platter. In ’21 Allman became the second and is now working on a streak of 5 straight. In pure U.S. terms the Stanford alum has 7 straight (and it would surely have been longer if Rankings had been done for ’20)…
ALLMAN’S WINNING STREAK is 29 finals, dating back to Lagi Tausaga’s upset winner at the ’23 Worlds.
