Outdoor '07

[Jumpr4Lyf]

Outdoor meets are starting up all around. You guys should all post up your season goals or season distances you have attained thus far in the jumping events. Good luck everyone!


BTW, mine are 7 m and 14 m in the LJ/TJ

[ilovebummies]

LJ last year.... 21'....
Goal for this year: first 22', then 22' 4 1/2" (school record)

[aidan]

22'/45'

if I hit either before the end of the season, then 7m/14m will become the goal... NCAA DIII provo..

[JumpinSkiing]

6'4"
14' PV
20' in LJ would be nice, but i won't LJ outdoor probably.

[D-Mac08]

19'1" Lj from indoor
hoping to break 20', since i can actually practice it now outside, by sections/statequals/counties
also trying to go 39' high to possibly breaking 40' by end of the season in the tj

[fptforrest]

just breaking my school records would be nice and a trip to states

[BmoR]

20' in long jump
41' in triple

[Winnesota]

23'5"
46'

[skifree]

23+ LJ
48+ TJ, although 15.00 meters is NCAA regional qualification, definitely in sight, thats about 49'2"

[HJfrick]

7'... and then some.:D

[CEP3]

It's ashame I don t have a jumps coach anymore but
HJ: 6'4"-6'6"
LJ: 22' high or better
TJ:(don't do it but if I do at least 41' or so)

[Beto]

Well long time no post here, but here are my results in my first 2 outdoor meets here in mexico:

State (sub 20) :

- 100m : 11.47
- Long Jump : 21'6 (PB)
- Triple Jump: 44'10.25" ( good... but I feel that I need a koach that knows about jumps and not just about speed )


Regional (sub 20):

- 100m : 11.40
- Long Jump: 21'9.25" (PB) ( Damn 2 more cm and I have the marc for the open nationals )
- Triple Jump:44'1.5" ( the night before this I drunk a lot, but anyway I need a jumps koach)


So... next year I woul be in a college, I hope that I can fidn a good jumps coach, so let's see what happen, the improtant meet this year is the sub 20 nationals in my country in may so... I need to work hard, and my goals are the next ones:

100m: 11.30
Long Jump: 22'3.75"
Triple Jump: 46' (I'm sad about the Triple because I like it a lot, but... anyway... maybe next year in college)ç

c ya guys

[THE DOLFIN]

6'10'' today. cali state leader :)

[HJfrick]

Cleared 2.09m yesterday at a meet in Disney. Had some REALLLLLLLY close attempts at 2.14m, but couldn't quite get it. Not bad for a first outdoor meet while on Spring Break.

[Crfan07]

ya i got 6 10 yesterday also first meet i have really done. Pulled my hamstring right when the season started :( still hurts, i might not compete next week

[THE DOLFIN]

[Crfan07]

now thats a war face

[Dazzy]

Nice jumps all round! 4 of us within 1" this weekend!

[BmoR]

long jump- 17'9'' pr by 6 inches
triple- 37'2'' under pr by 5 inches

[jumpboy]

22'/46'

Now that two of my teammates are finally trying I have even more motivation now :) Outdoor PRs coming tomorrow.

And looks l might be high jumping this season. Cleared 5'6" numerous times today well above the bar at practice will screwing around. Better than the 300IH I guess.

[jumpboy]

Well I guess it was ok, given the circumstances.

20'9"
42'10"

I fell down in the High Hurdles after dipping at the line and skinned my hand pretty badly. Then in the 300IH my lead leg caught under a hurdle coming off the curve and I just skidded across the track, messing the left side of my body up. Oh well, I wasn't felling to great anyway so should be a good season.

[skifree]

haha ouch you fell in both HH and 300h? That is rough

[skifree]

new PR in long jump yesterday, 6.77, 22'2.5" I'll take it!

[BmoR]

lj- 17'1'' 8 inches off pr
tj- 37'4.5'' 2.5'' off pr

[JumpinSkiing]

My PR in HJ is 6'2", and my coach and I changed up my in the last week or so, and the first day of that, I easily skied 6'0", then made 6'2", matching my PR on the first day of real HJ practice. New approach feels great.

I'm psyched for this outdoor season needless to say.

[BmoR]

had finals today cuz meet was postponed

tj- 38'7.5'' pr by 1' 0.5''

[jumpboy]

^ Good Job

Yea, I fell in both hurdles :o

Gah, this sucks. My coach had what doctors think was a mild stroke last Thursday which sucks in itself. But to top it off we can't go to the invite we had scheduled for Saturday so the next meet is a little dual-meet on the 17th. :mad: :(

[Beto]

well next meet would be the UTEP invitational, anybody here in the forum goiing to jumo there ? :D


C ya

[chapinaf]

ive had a pretty miserable beginning to the outdoor season...had to go from an 8 step approach cus my quad was bothering the first meet...and i fouled all 3 attempts today.

oh, and might i add that the high temperature today at our meet at UConn was 36 degrees F. **** the northeast.

[HJfrick]

It was freezing today in Princeton too. Skifree, I got a few pictures of you hurdling, I'll let you know when I upload them.

[skifree]

o sweet thanks! Today was very brisk.

[chapinaf]

very brisk? come on ted, you can be more blunt than that...lets be honest, it was cold as s**t.

[skifree]

haha word, i was freezing my butt off

[Mileman]

PV-10'6 (Western MA qualifying)
Mile-5:20 or lower
Maybe the school record in PV'n thats more of a HS career goal though!

[Jumpr4Lyf]

Cold here in central New York too, we've had our first 2 meets cancelled because its been under 20 degrees with the wind chill and has snowed. Looknig like our next 2 meets might be cancelled cause of the cold too. WTF, why don't we live somewhere warmer.

[BmoR]

lj- 17'3.5'' 6 inches off pr just been horrible meets so far this one was canceled half way through

[JumpinSkiing]

First meet, most terrible meet ever, I don't even want to talk about it.

[the_youthful_cane]

jump!

[DartMattHJ]

yeah we had one meet postponed because of weather, and then a meet that was supposed to be today got rescheduled to yesterday, and unfortunately we got less than a day's notice of the change.

But last week i finally cleared 6'2 after struggling with 6'1 all throughout indoor.

[HJfrick]

Jumped 2.10 in HJ (regional qualifier for Nats) and 14.00m in TJ yesterday at Penn. I hadn't practiced or taken a triple jump since Feb 10th, so that kind of suprised me a little.:D

[mrz0122]

had our first outdoor meet yesterday, cold as hell about 40 degrees, plus i had to take the act before so got aobut a 20 minute warmup, not to bad based on the conditions though. 19.9 in long jump and 41.2 in triple, both jumping into a strong wind. hopefully the weather gets better soon, 3 weeks untill conference

[jumpboy]

Damn today sucked! It was high 40's, low 50's and windy as hell. If that wasn't bad enough it was the worst track I've ever seen. Holes everywhere. The sand in the pit felt like it had concrete under it. And I don't think the hurdle markings where right, I could have two stepped the 110 hurdles probably.

I long jumped 19'4" and won. Two other guys and me who have jumped at least 21' just couldn't jump well today. I only tripled 37'11" before proceding to take a 6 step approach jump. oh well, hopefully saturday will be better.

[Jumpr4Lyf]

After 2 weeks of getting meets cancelled, our first meet is tomorrow, its gona be sick

[jumpboy]

21'4" today. I can taste 22' right now.

I triple was the only place where I didn't PR today...I jumped 42'5" My third phase sucks!!! But our conference meet is gonna be nasty in the jumps. 7 People have gone over 21' this season now and a lot have broken 20'. I triple jump is just gonna be insane!

[JumpinSkiing]

12'6" and 6' in the first meet i've not been sick at.

Not bad to start the season, some good looks at 6'2".

[BmoR]

LJ- 18' 5.5'' pr by 8.5''

[jiango]

jumped my first 40ft triple today =]

[BmoR]

good job man im lookin for that in a few weeks

[mrz0122]

new pr's today for teh year, 20,7 in long and 42,1 in triple and some nice tan lines

[skifree]

league championships next weekend, will probably have to jump at least 48 feet to place. Yeah, watch out, some college leagues are realllly competitive. But, practice went really well today, had a bunch of good jumps. When I'm in competition, its gonna get hype.

I'm not sure if I told you are not, but I'm TJ'ing at Heps too! So watch out ;)

[skifree]

oh baby! We can have a mini dyestat party with me you and andrew haha

[HJfrick]

Haha yea. Hopefully I'll be coming off my first individual Heps win, and PR by 5 feet and place top 3.:D (PR'ing by 5 feet wouldn't even guarantee the win!!)

[skifree]

Haha yea. Hopefully I'll be coming off my first individual Heps win, and PR by 5 feet and place top 3.:D (PR'ing by 5 feet wouldn't even guarantee the win!!)

haha yea.. triple jump is crazy. I will probably have to PR just to place

[Dazzy]

I had my first comp yesterday, 2m:o shoved the bar up to 209 afterwards, but it was FREEZING! 10 degrees apparently, had to take second attempts at 185 and 190!, heights i normally would scissor jump!

[Ecliptica]

Yeah, watch out, some college leagues are realllly competitive.

QFT.

Took 48'00.75" to place in my conference last year. 53'9.5" for the win.


EDIT: Dazzy, 10C? That's still a good jump for temperatures that cold.

[Dazzy]

thx, Yeah 10-12C said the weather forecast, windy as well. They put the comp in the coldest place in england, in other places they were getting mid 20s!

[jumpboy]

So today was filled with good and bad.

LJ - 21'5.5" (old pr 21'4") two jumps over 21'
TJ - 41' (my "best" event, 2 feet off my PR)
110 - 14.5 (15.3 old pr so I destroyed it if it was true but there were three timers)
300IH - 41.3 (41.50 FAT so roughly the same) on track for sub 40 but i can't lead on my opposite leg...at all :mad:

I don't think I have the strength to do all this in a three hour span, hence why my tj sucks relative to my other PRs and for all the work I've been doing.

[ilovebummies]

finally got a fare 21' jump today... it made me happy... i've had foot problems this season, so I'm still chasing a PR at 21' 4''

[Ecliptica]

thx, Yeah 10-12C said the weather forecast, windy as well. They put the comp in the coldest place in england, in other places they were getting mid 20s!

Ahh, okay, I couldn't remember if you were from England or Australia; and I was going to say that 10 degrees might be pretty nice for this time of year in parts of Australia.

[JumpinSkiing]

Wooo PR in pole vault today, 13', I watched the video and was surprised at how high I was over it, very very nice jump and makes me excited for the rest of the season.

6' HJ, and 53.5 4x4 split to go along with it make it a very nice day.

[BmoR]

tj- 38' 7 3/4'' pr by 1/4 inch lol

[D-Mac08]

i tripled jump for the first time in about 4months yesterday and beat my old pr of 36'04 with a 38'02"

[HJfrick]

Tied my PR of 2.10m in HJ yesterday and won my conference meet. Over 2.13m on every jump I took, just couldn't clear. PR'ed in TJ by a cm!!! 14.01m

[skifree]

I officially beat two heps champions this weekend. One being HJfrick, and the other was kyle calvo cause of a very unlucky triple foul in LJ. I jumped 47'5.75" for 7th (again :mad: ), and got 15th place with 22'1.5", second to last. Since when are so many people good at long jump? It took 7.12 meters to place, which is around 23'5". Pretty sick

Definitely need to get on a bigger pole. Looks like your only a step from blowing through that one entirely. Nice vault though.

[JumpinSkiing]

Ordering a new one tomorrow, i've gone through all the poles in my city. Longer and a bit heavier.

[LAXCoach]

That jump looks great, where did you even hit that thing?

[HJfrick]

That jump looks great, where did you even hit that thing?

I think I hit it somewhere between the second to last and last picture with my foot. I haven't watched the tape yet, but looking at these pictures I get SO angry I didn't make the height. I hadn't missed before 2.13m.

[HJfrick]

I won IC4A's today, made 2.14, 7'.25"! Adrian, sorry I didn't get to say "Hi", I was going to after we finished jumping, but I ended up talking to my parents and didn't see you. Rough day today, but good job!

[adrianli]

yeah dude, good job, that was a sick jump

but yeah...i totally folded.

[Dazzy]

:cool: NICE!!!

[skifree]

track is over... AND IM SO BORED

[mrz0122]

had my conference meet today and won triple with a jump of 42,3 scratched my firstr jump by an inch got a courtesy mark and it was 44,7 that was dissappointing, came in thrid in long by a half inch jumped 20,2

[LAXCoach]

We had a coaches event today and I TJed for the first time in over 2 years. Went 39'1" off of an 11 step approach because I don't think there's any way I could've handled any more speed. This was a good wake up of how bad of shape I've let myself slip to, although I'm pretty sure I could've gone 40' since the 39'1 jump was with a **** landing and me looking at the board since I had scratched all my other jumps. I really wanna triple jump again :)

[Dazzy]

Wow I have just seen this!

[Ecliptica]

Donald Thomas should be jumping 9 feet by the time the Olympics roll around, though.

TJ- 41' 3'' pr by 7 inches it was at state but i didnt place :(

[HJfrick]

TJ- 41' 3'' pr by 7 inches it was at state but i didnt place :(

Congrats! It's always tough when you PR, then don't place. It's happened to me in the triple in college, you just have to be happy you improved.

[jumpboy]

TJ- 41' 3'' pr by 7 inches it was at state but i didnt place :(

Didn't you state the season out with a PR of 37' ish? If so getting up to 41' isn't a bad improvement in a season.

Speaking of triple I finally had a decent day of TJ. I jumped 43'4.25" but dropped my legs landing. Then went on to foul my other 5 jumps :) at least I qualified for states :p

[jiango]

what are the state qualifying distances in your states?
i didnt know they were so different, a 41' is qualifying for your state bmor?
illinois is 45 and 22

what are the state qualifying distances in your states?
i didnt know they were so different, a 41' is qualifying for your state bmor?
illinois is 45 and 22

well an automatic qualifier was 42'3 but i made it because i got 3rd in my district

[DartMattHJ]

I pr'ed again in high jump a few weeks back, got 6'4. I've only jumped once since then, i hate my league restrictions (1 track 2 field or vice versa), my coach makes me throw jav and run both hurdles every meet so i never get to jump...

[DartMattHJ]

I won IC4A's today, made 2.14, 7'.25"! Adrian, sorry I didn't get to say "Hi", I was going to after we finished jumping, but I ended up talking to my parents and didn't see you. Rough day today, but good job!

wow great jumping!! Is that a 2 inch pr?

[skifree]

Congrats! It's always tough when you PR, then don't place. It's happened to me in the triple in college, you just have to be happy you improved.

YUP

[HJfrick]

YUP

Haha, you'd know better than I do.:D

[Jumpr4Lyf]

I fouled two jumps over 23' and a third jump that measured 24'1" : /. I still PR'd on my last conservative jump with a 22'3.75"

[Dazzy]

Jumped 210 today to =PB :)

Saw a guy jump 804:eek: in long jump too which was cool!

[HJfrick]

Jumped 210 today to =PB :)

Nice jump. 8.04 is pretty crazy! There are a few guys seeded in 7.9x for NCAA Nationals, should be a good competition.

[Jumper23]

not my pr but Devon Bond triple jumped 50'1/2" at the NJSIAA group championships yesterday.........sorry i posted this already in the nj board but im just really happy that NJ has a national level jumper cuz all i hear about is the distance people like Forys and Tauro

GO NJ!

2.10 is 6'10.75", 2.11 is 6'11".:rolleyes: Congrats!

[Dazzy]

According to USATF 6ft11 is 210, 6ft11.25 is 211:p, as its somewhere inbetween 210 and 211.

This is why america should use metric, imperial complicates things!

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b275/dazzyduk/sillyimperial.jpg

Silly no...

[JumpinSkiing]

Made 14' at the state meet to win it. BARELY brushed off 14'6", vids up soon.

Next stop, New Englands.

[HJfrick]

I can guarantee that the standard conversion is 2.10= 6'10.75". Same thing with 2.13 being 6'11.75".

[dkirkpatrick]

Nice vault! Good luck at NE.

[Beto]

PR'ed in TJ at my nationals:

46'3"


Ironic ... I did'nt train the TJ after my reigonals in march, because my coach hoped that in LJ I would do the things better, and we leave the triple, then with no training, I do 14.10m, to finish 4th. in LJ mark a 6.58 m to take 4th


Next year I would leave LJ, to focus myself just in the TJ, next year I hope I can do a 14.50 m

c ya guys
