I first saw Drouin jump at Indoor NCAAs last year, and when he got 2nd, I thought it was a fluke, that he only got 2nd because none of the rest of us had shown up. It didn't take me long to realize how wrong I was. This kid is the real deal, a great jumper. Congrats to him and everyone else who jumped this weekend.

Video of Dusty Jonas clearing 2.31 for Bronze at the 2010 WC's in Doha. Great job to everybody who competed this week, outdoors will be great.

Congratulations to Dusty and Jessie. 3rd and 5th place respectively. Great job and even though they finished 1 and 2 i think the Russians understand that they will have some competition for the top spot in outdoor this year.

Congratulations to Derek Drouin on winning the NCAA's with a collegiate US# 1 jump. Derek had a really good indoor season and was definitely ready to go at the championships. Robertson showed he will be a factor the next few years with his second place finish. Strong finish to an indoor season that began with Robertson having a broken foot....................

Congratulations to Dwayne Golbek on winning the Nike Indoor Nationals closing out the high school indoor season. No 7 footer at Nike this year but still a good result with 6'10.25".

And finally congratulations to Justin Hunter for his win at the NSIC. Justin won with a jump of 7"0.25", which is a US# 1. (OK kid jumped 7'0.50" but it was in the pentathlon).

All in all some really good jumping at all levels this weekend. I think we are in store for a really good outdoor season !!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Jesse and Dusty on qualifying for finals. Show 'em what American jumpers are all about! Good luck to both of you!

Here in Doha 8 make the finals out of 19. The progression is as follows 2.19m (7-2.25), 2.23m (7-3.75), 2.26m (7-5), 2.29m (7-6), 2.31m (7-7). They will stop the competition when there is 8 people. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I think that NCAA's may be televised on ESPN, but it probably wont cover much high jump. Here's the link I found

Good Luck to Jesse and Dusty Tomorrow at the big show!

hello all I am finally all settle down in Doha and will be able to work on the site quite a bit now. 2 more guys jumping 2.20m (7-2.5) this weekend way to go. Good luck to everyone that has qualified for NCAA's!

Is there a site I can go to watch the high jump (in specific), live?

Not something like NBC where they don't show jack shit. Anyone know? thanks

The HJ is soo unpredictable thats why I cant make any predictions. On any given day anyone can win but im sure it will be one helluva competition come NCAA indoor nationals. I'll be definitely watching a live stream and HOPE to see a lot of the high jump rather than long distance running events etc.

All im saying Jesse is that I wear a size 14..

Its in the shoes..damnit.. lol

they look sweet tho..

Thanks for the comment about the shoes jesse.

Mar 4 2010, 01:10 AM, jessehj1 wrote:

Well some bold predictions we have here and I love it. There is one thing that I must comment on. The winning height of NCAA will be higher than 2.21m. If someone were to win with 2.21m or less it would be the lowest winning height since....well who knows! Maybe the 70's. (2003 was 2.23m with that guy being DQ'ed which was the lowest height in recent years) There are 16 guys right now who have jumped 2.20m or higher and I am certain at least one of them will jump over 2.21m! If that doesn't happen I will be shocked! Utterly shocked.

Another thing I want to say is that it was a pleasure competing with everyone at the USA Indoor champs. It was a great competition and want to congratulate everyone that was there. It was a great weekend for USA high jumpers across the nation.

Also the shoes I jumped in are no different than any other Nike shoes they are just all white with a gold Nike swoosh.

Brian Knight or Derek Drouin will win NCAA's. I've jumped against Knight this year and Derek last year multiple times. I was in the competition when Knight went 2.24 at ND, and he made it look easy. Only sophomores so they might choke a little. Winning height no higher than 2.21

Mar 3 2010, 02:05 PM, peastjumpersdad wrote:

Gotta revise my prediction on NCAA Indoor champs and throw Drouin in the mix. Forgot about him. He has been jumping very well this year also. Morales has been very consistent at Arizona this year, but I don't believe he has gone above 2.23 this year. But the competition at champs could bring out more in him. Eight guys at 2.22 or better last weekend. I could very well see about 5 guys battling it out above 2.23. Wish my son was in the mix right now, but he will be back in business next season and get himself mentioned in this group of really good young jumpers.................Gonna be a very good meet...............

Hamilton
Drouin
Robertson
Morales
Kynard

I am removing my prediction of Hamilton winning and just say I think one of these 5 will walk away with the title................

Apparently Robertson had broken his foot recently, it didn't say when in the article. That makes the heights he is jumping as a freshman even more impressive.

Anyone know where I can buy some sick high jump shoes? Possibly customize them?

Also, do you think the Nike Zoom High Jump IV's will be out anytime soon?

Congratulations to everyone at USA's......That was a pretty impressive meet as i thought it would be....Results almost looked like The Russian Championships Results.....Outdoor should be pretty good this year.....Meaning as in American HJ Results this HJ season not just at the Outdoor Championships.....I was probably the most impressed with Will's jumping.....He had a monster jump over 2.25m......

Mar 1 2010, 04:09 PM, peastjumpersdad wrote:

Congrats Jesse. Big jump and big win this weekend. I know you said that your foot is a little tender so get that taken care of. Would love to see you make the finals and give the Russians something to think about.

Congrats to Dusty as well. He has been jumping pretty well and really deserving of the honor.........

HOPE BOTH OF YOU JUMP HIGH AND BRING BACK SOME HARDWARD TO THE US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I think a high jump summit would be feasible, and there would be many university's that'd be willing to do it, it's just a matter of finding a location and a time that does not conflict with major meets around the world. We could have an elite division and have an entry standard for that competition (2.15 and up), then other divisions that decent by increments of 5. I think it'd be a HUGE turnout, push for huge marks/PRs, and continue to put the USA out there are a serious contender for the sport. As Ced said, if we added some music, it'd be even better. The high jump festival they host in Minnesota has managed to gather some big names and Olympians (Manjula Wijesekara, Raul Spank, Jesse De Lima, and Dusty Jonas have all competed there), and then some real hot collegiate talent, most recently Paul Hamilton. Minnesota isn't my ideal location for a high jump competition, but we need a spot and we need promotion, and we need to get athletes we can guarantee will give the crowd something to watch. Speaking of Paul, why is it NOBODY has film on him? Youtube is empty, I only see his 2.13m jump from the high jump festival last summer, but if he's flying over 7'5 I think the world needs to see Bob Pepin's new protege, Dusty can't get all of the fame! As for Tora Harris, he's still recovering from an injury, had a 2.15m jump two weeks ago but from what I understand he's 65%. However, don't be fooled, we all should know how Tora operates, he's liable to jump 7'7 tomorrow.

Congrats Jesse, please make it to the finals and do what you're capable of, it's time America reclaimed gold and I believe you will do it, why not?

Thanks for the info. I did not know she was married to Derrick Lowe. I always hear her announces as Howard..................

to peastjumpersdad's comment,

Chaunte is enterd into the meet, Look at the first entry on the usatf page:

http://www.usatf.org/events/2010/USAIndoor...ntry/status.asp

her name is entered under Chaunte Lowe, she is married to Derrick Lowe, a triple jumper that used to go to FSU.

Feb 22 2010, 02:21 PM, peastjumpersdad wrote:

Not sure why Chaunte is not on the women's list for USA's. I know I saw her in the video competing in the high jump to music meet over seas a couple of weeks ago. Haven't seen anything about her being injured or anything like that. I know that Destinee Hooker is one of the better women high jumpers in the US (NCAA indoor and outdoor champ), but she decided to give up hj this year and is going to be playing professional volleyball overseas............................

So any word on Tora Harris this indoor season anybody?????

Feb 18 2010, 08:42 PM, NIKZAT wrote:

I think it's gunna be Jesse Williams at 1st. He says he's in great shape and he just had a great opener at 2.31 with no competition. At second I think it will be Dusty Jonas. He's already jumped 2.32 and seems to be ready to go higher. At third I think Andra Manson. He's had a great opener but I think he's gunna jump 2.31. Just a couple of guesses. Andra and Jesse should represent in Doha I think because there more consistant at the higher heights. -NIKZAT

My old coach and ex highjumper have been thinking about trying to put on a few highjump to music meets here in houston. Lot of politics involved in getting a meet started,but he's beenreally serious about it.

If we got this High Jump Summit up and running, would there be a required mark that you need to be in the meet? Or would it all be open?

I'd love to jump against some of you pros/better high jumpers, and I would definitely try and make the trip to wherever the meet would be held.

I agree I would be very interested in getting a high jump festival similar to the Pole Vault summit someday. It would of course take a lot of work but I am sure we can make it happen someday.
As far as USA indoor champs go....it looks like it could be the best one for the USA in a long time and possibly ever! I am sure it will live up to the Hype.

when are we all going to come together and have a high jump summit? i think a high jump summit would garner so many competitors it would be crazy, something similar to what they do in Reno every year. i know they have that Teneo High Jump festival for outdoors in which a lot of high profile jumpers go to in the summer, but something indoors would be sick. any thoughts on this?

@ NIKZAT

I was really hard headed in college, so on wednesdays when we did weights, coach basically let me do my own thing. I would do plyos at practice, then in the weghtroom i only did two drills and thats leg extensions and leg curls...but i did really heavy weight and did 5 sets of 20....that was torture but it me really strong....after that i would go back to the track for another round of plyos....I use to name that day West Nile Wednesday's...I named all my workout days to get me excited about working out...lol...my teammates and coaches thought i was crazy as hell....Monday's i called Monster Monday because it was another heavy plyo day but no weights.....But u are rightabout weights being important. I just started doing olympic lifts about 2 years ago and they make a world of difference......The difference was in college i didn't use any speed for my approach and my technique was horrible.....i only relied on pure power to jump and was jumping in sprint spikes....
