NCAA Division II High Jump Recruiting Standards (2026-27)
The honest answer to "am I a D2 High Jump athlete?" is not a published standard — it is what D2 programs actually signed. Every number below comes from the real high-school marks of the 2025-26 class.
The middle number is the median signee’s PR; P25 is the fast end of the class and P75 the slow end that still signed. 1500m/Mile and 3000m are shown converted to 1600m/3200m. Sourced from verified meet results, American pool only.

These are last cycle’s signing marks for one division, not a fixed cutoff — a division median hides a wide spread between its best and worst programs. Coaches also weigh progression, event needs, academics and open roster spots, so a mark in range starts a conversation rather than settling one.
