| Amy Acuff was born on July 14, 1975 in Port Arthur, Texas, USA.
She posed nude for Playboy magazine as part of a photo spread featuring other females Olympiads such as Mary Sauer, Katie Vermeulen and Susan Tiedtke-Green. Born in Port Arthur, Texas, she established herself domestically with wins at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 1995 and 1997. At the age of 22, she became the Universiade champion, edging out Monica Iagăr in the 1997 high jump final. Acuff was the winner of the 1998 Hochsprung mit Musik meeting in Arnstadt, Germany, becoming the first non-European winner in the history of the event. She went on to win at the national championships in 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007. Six national championships, all in odd numbered years. Her personal best is 2.01 m, which she achieved at the Weltklasse Golden League international track and field meet in Zürich, Switzerland, on August 15, 2003. She finished 4th place at that high jump competition. During the 2004 Olympic final, she was in bronze medal position through 1.99m. At 2.02m, after Vita Styopina cleared her lifetime personal best on her first attempt, Acuff strategically chose to pass at what would have been her personal best just to equal Styopina and retain bronze medal position. At the time, American television commentator Dwight Stones said "That is a decision she will think about the rest of her life." While in high school in 1993 she was named the national Girl's "High School Athlete of the Year" by Track and Field News. Her 1.95m at the Texas Relays at age 36 on March 31, 2012 should qualify as the W35 American Masters record. Just 17 days before her 40th birthday, on June 28, 2015, Acuff placed third at the USATF track championships in Eugene, Oregon, potentially qualifying her for 2015's US delegation to the world championships in Beijing, however she needed jump of 1.94 meters, the qualifying standard. She, and all of the other American women, were ultimately unable to meet this standard and could not compete in Beijing. She was Inducted into the Texas Track and Field Coaches Hall of Fame, Class of 2015. Amy Acuff has several misspellings. Internet searches have led to many erroneous spellings of celebrities names. It is often difficult to figure out how to spell a celebrities name due to the sound of the name being different than the spelling of the name. Especially when so many celebrities have different pseudonyms, it often makes spelling their names so difficult. Full name: Amy AcuffBorn: July 14, 1975Birthplace: Port Arthur , Texas, USA |
