Well I am not origionally from WI, but I have been going to college at Marquette for 3 years now. I have jumped 15'5", but as soon as I learn to be a little more technically sound, I should be in the mid 16's

Yeah I used to be good friends with him in HS, he used to come to our place to train. Transfered to Stout, and gave up vaulting like 6 weeks into training or something like that, I think he just lost his drive to jump...
