NCAA Division I High Jump Recruiting Standards (2026-27)
The honest answer to "am I a D1 High Jump athlete?" is not a published standard — it is what D1 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.
