15'6'' for a freshman is pretty darn good. I'm a freshman and my best is 11'. When did you start jumping?

haha, yeah i agree about the little "um..ya" in the video. pretty sweet. im just curious, i know you said you came in low to get a height cuz of bad warmups (ive done that before) but did you win after the first height? and if you did how come you still only went up by 6 inches... or instead go to like 15'9'' after 15 instead of 15'6''... just for the sake of breaking YOUR OWN natl. record haha. maybe its just me but i like seeing records be broken... anyway, good luck and keep it up
