For boys and girls track I was wondering what certain heights were comparable to? Is a girl jumping 9' the same as a girl running a 5:15 mile, etc...? Is a guy jumping 13' the same as a guy running 52.5 in the 400??? Just curious. Using state qualifying heights/times is one way I guess. Just want everyone's thoughts figuring teammates in high school pretty much don't pay attention to vaulters and how hard they work.

Try comparing the performance to another event in the decathlon scoring tables. It will give you one perspective.

I usually just try to base it off state qualifying times/distances. I tried to base it off of results from state meets, but its hard cuz there is always outliers in certain events
