Seth Virgil (White) Jumps 23 ft as Junior in HS Long Jump

[MrMaximilianWilhelm]

is 19-20 feet in long jump good for a sophomore in high school? i got 18 in the summer after freshemn year and i ran XC and played basketball and went to the weight room alot this year so i think i could jump about 19 feet now?

@MrMaximilianWilhelm ill help boss, take a vid of u long jumpin and send it to me through mail, i can tell you were your going wrong, im a sophomore (upcoming) and finally reached my new PR the other morning with 20'7... my mistake was my last 3 steps.. i was only getting 19 my freshiee year

[MrMaximilianWilhelm]

@TheBmartin6 hey thanks ill make a video, i had some 19-19.5 footers but they were all faults, my coach said that whenever i pull out a big jump im always a little bit faster than my regular approach so im trying to fix that now in aau track, ive had some jumps at half speed going off a 4 inch springboard at 21 feet, so i dont know what it would be around at full approach without the springboard maybe you would know, but whatever ill try to make a video soon, thanks again

[TheBmartin6]

@MrMaximilianWilhelm no problem, but i dont jump with springboards, i think it feels like cheating... but yeah man just hit me up when u get the vids in :D

[liljalen123]

@Exploits27, well whens the last time you ran a 52.3 in middle school... that was in eight grade then, now im a freshman in high school and i run a 50.8... dont hate...

@TheMatt20131 jalen ware

[TheMatt20131]

@liljalen123, ok. nice man! how do u get 2 all these places 2 compete?

[liljalen123]

@TheMatt20131 well first you have got to join a usatf (U.S.A. track and field) track team. Usually meets are in your state unless you qualify for nationals, luckily for me, nationals were in north Carolina last year like 20 minutes away from me, but if i qualify for nationals this year they are Sacramento, California. if you plan on joining a team hurry. the season starts in a month.

[TheMatt20131]

@liljalen123, its ok then. im doin track in school rite now.

[liljalen123]

@TheMatt20131, haha same here.
