Unread postby difallstar » Sun Nov 12, 2006 1:51 pm

hey. i'm a sophmore, and i was wondering what i takes to vault in college. Does anyone know about high you have to go to jump at a good college? like FLorida or something. IF you have any idea, let me know please.

Right now im a sophmore.
I weigh in at 145.
Im 5'5 or 5'6.
Im running from 4 lefts (coach wants to work on form) jumping 11'.
I was holding from 11' but i could've moved my hands up a lot.
I'm going back to my 6 step this weekend, i hope. ill post my new height then.

Do you think I could vault somewhere?
PR- 12' from four lefts.(no full runs yet)

as a walk on, to a decient college with a decient team, like 14-6 or 15, to a good D1 college with a good team, 15-6+, and not many people really gets full rides, but for books and stuff, you'd have to go a little higher than previously stated.

good luck
PR- 15-1
Great season, time to top it
