Looking at the stats of year by year improvements, do you think Scott Roth could take the national high school record? For those of you who need to remember, here is Tommy's year by year improvements:

If he really wants to. He can. Just a matter of how much he puts himself to it

If he does get it it i think Spencer McCorkel(sophmore that jumps 17') well brake it

Maybe if he gets his standard back some and learns how to finish rolling poles...if you watch where he lands in his video of his 17'1" clearance, too close for comfort...IMO (based on stuff i've been told about standard placement etc)

I'm not sure if he can do it.... It doesn't seem as though he has the physical strength and height that Tommy Skipper has. Although I hope he surprises me and does it!

I think that is very possible. Didnt he have a 41'' push off on his 17' jump?

well we all know that 18'3'' is pretty darn high
for a high school kid but spencer's and scott's jumps
as sophomores are pretty damn impressive too. i
think both of them can be challenging the record as
seniors if they really want to...it's all about desire from here
good luck to both of them!

It might be possible if they stay healthy throughout. The JR class record is 17'7 and he didn't jump that the next season because of injury. Skipper may have taken that record down though with 17'8

Tommy jumped 17-7.50 I believe (it was 17-7 and some change) to take the JR class record at the WA-OR meet of Champions.
