Preferred Recruit · Track StandardsHigh school long jump recruiting marks for D1
At a typical NCAA D1 program, the men's long jump Walk-On mark is about 22'0" (6.71m) and the women's about 18'1.75" (5.53m). High school and college jumpers use the same runway and pit, so your high school mark compares directly, as long as it is wind-legal.

Common questions
Is my long jump good enough for D1?
Compare it with the table above, then search it on the standards finder to see the exact schools it fits.
Do coaches care about triple jump too?
Yes. Jumpers who score in two events are more valuable to a team, so list both.
