NAIA High Jump Recruiting Standards (2026-27)
The honest answer to "am I a NAIA High Jump athlete?" is not a published standard — it is what NAIA programs actually signed. Every number below comes from the real high-school marks of the 2025-26 class.
P25 / P50 / P75 are the quarter, half and three-quarter points of the signing class, best mark first. 1500m/Mile and 3000m marks read as their 1600m/3200m equivalents. All from verified meets — American signees are pooled separately from international ones.

The fast end of the NAIA class.

Still signed at this level.
A boy who jumped 1.88m in the High Jump is in the middle of what NAIA actually signed this cycle. The middle half of the class landed inside 1.78m–1.93m, across all 85 boys signed by NAIA programs in this event.

A dash means that program signed too few athletes in this event for a median to mean anything. The signee count is still exact.
Girls · High Jump
11 signees · 10 programsNot enough verified data to publish a girls High Jump standard here.
Only 54% of the NAIA girls signing class has a verified high-school mark of any kind. A pool that thin is skewed toward the athletes who got results written up — the fast end — so any median we printed would read faster than what this level actually signs. We hold 11 High Jump marks here and are not publishing a standard off them.
Every competitor publishing a number here is estimating one. We would rather show nothing. Try the girls read at another level, or run a real mark through the fit check below — it scores against every program that has data, not a division average.
An NAIA median doesn't recruit anyone. Programs do.

A division-wide number is a starting point, not a bar: the same division holds programs twenty seconds apart. These marks shift every cycle, and progression, event needs, academics and roster spots all move a real recruiting decision.
