NAIA Long Jump Recruiting Standards (2026-27)
The honest answer to "am I a NAIA Long 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.
P50 (median) = the middle signee’s PR. P25 = the top quarter of the class; P75 = the back quarter. 1500m/Mile and 3000m marks are shown as 1600m/3200m equivalents. Aggregated from verified meet results, American signees only.

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 · Long Jump
8 signees · 8 programsNot enough verified data to publish a girls Long 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 8 Long 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.
