Class 1A State Meet - High Jump
“No event suffered more during the pandemic than the technique-driven high jump and it’s taken several years for performance levels to rebound to normal. Scottie Vines is a clear sign things are turning, not only elevating to one of the best marks in prep history, but delivering unrivaled consistency to clear seven feet on nine occasions.”

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-5, 165-pound senior jumper won a pair of national titles in the high jump—one at the USATF U20 Championships and a second at Nike Outdoor Nationals this past season, earning All-American status. Vines’ clearance of seven feet, four and one-quarter inches at the Texas Relays set a state record and ranked No. 1 nationally among prep competitors and tied for No. 14 in U.S. prep history. He also won the event at the Class 1A state meet and took third in the 100-meter dash, clocking a personal-best time of 11.39 seconds.
