==Early career==
King claims she was always athletic. She was one of the first girls to play in Little League under threat of lawsuit.
An eighth grade coach advised her to avoid the high jump, but that was the event she aimed at. King attended Menlo-Atherton High School, finishing third at the 1979 CIF California State Meet and fourth the following year.〔http://www.prepcaltrack.com/ATHLETICS/TRACK/stateres.htm〕 Next she went to the University of Oregon but she struggled there as a freshman, not taking the sport seriously enough. With failure, she quit the sport as a sophomore and gained weight. When she decided to return to the sport, even her parents advised her to "put the toys away." When she returned she broadened her training to the multi event heptathlon. She graduated Oregon without any success with the team. She continued to train there where she "felt the condescending stares of her former coaches."〔http://articles.latimes.com/1988-08-04/sports/sp-10177_1_high-jump〕 1986 showed signs of improvement. She cleared 6 feet in the high jump and finished 6th in the National Championships in the heptathlon.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=d0CQFznveXoC&pg=PA133&lpg=PA133&dq=%22Trish+king%22+1981&source=bl&ots=p6d_CcG_Cq&sig=d0NjVpvvl0cK7bHt98XGt1HzKv4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=AOm9U5auIcrZoAT3sIGACQ&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Trish%20king%22%201981&f=false American Women's Track and Field, 1981-2000: A History By Louise Mead Tricard P.133〕
