How fast do you need to run the High Jump in college? (Girls)

The marks college programs list for women's High Jump, by division. Each range is the middle half of programs (25th to 75th percentile); a dash means too few programs list that level (NCAA D3 and NAIA use Target and Walk-On).

Recruit: The range where coaches typically start recruiting conversations and scholarship discussions begin. Not a guarantee.
