This group is for the Jumper of any and all kinds. Anything from High Jump, Long Jump and Triple Jump. Pole Vaulters welcome too! Here you can post pictures, videos, good and bad, give advice, suggestions, ask questions or just chit chat about meets, practices and share strategies.

Jumpers are a unique breed of athlete. We master our approach, increase our speed and explode once that take-off foot hits the ground. The feel of soaring through the air to clear that bar or to reach out as far as our body will allow us is indescribable. The amount of impact our body endures for these events is incredible. Aches and pains are never ending. Disappointment and/or excitement fill us once we touch the rough sand or cushioned pit. We've either hit it, or missed it. There is no half-attempt at a jump, you have three attempts to get that mark you so desire. So run fast and plant hard....

We live to jump.

Inspirational Quotes:

Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do.

Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
