6'4" is actaully better than u think. I'd be proud of that, of course im only 5'10" so jumpin over my height to me is insance.

In high school:

3200
1600
pole vault (senior year)


In college just the vault baby...but us field events stayed together: so i learned to hammer throw and throw the javelin and the discus...
Fight the good fight: It's nice to be great but it's far greater to be nice.

The taller u are the higher your center of gravity is, in which, ur apex of ur jump is ALWAYS where ur center of gravity is...hence, taller=hihger heights, even works for pole vault, i think like most elite vaulter ar 5'10" or taller, some1 can correct me if im wrong.
