Starting heights

Unread postby drcurran » Mon May 23, 2005 11:03 am

I've officiated lots of meets at the college level and there does not seem to be a "starting height" for D I or D II. I've done D I where the women started at 9' and the men at 15'. I did a D II or III meet this Spring where the women started at 6'4" and the men at 8'4". I don't think there is a standard.

SEC women's starting heights are generally at or above 11' usually 365. The men start anywhere from 15' to 16'.

It just depends a lot on where you go to school, how big the conference is, and what meets your school chooses to go to.
