Middle school and developing
Boys around 30 to 38 feet and girls 26 to 32 are off to a good start. Most early distance comes from a faster approach and learning to keep the hop flat instead of high.
A good triple jump is the mark that scores at your level, and it rewards speed plus the rhythm to balance the hop, step, and jump. A fast athlete who collapses the step will lose to a slower one who holds all three phases. Here are the benchmarks at each stage and where the distance comes from.
Boys around 30 to 38 feet and girls 26 to 32 are off to a good start. Most early distance comes from a faster approach and learning to keep the hop flat instead of high.
A good varsity triple jump is around 44 feet for boys and 37 feet for girls, with 47 and 40 scoring at the championship level. The jump from JV to varsity is usually a real step phase, not a bigger hop.
College men jump 49 to 52 feet and women 42 to 45 to score, with elite around 54 feet for men and 46 for women. At this level the phase ratio is balanced and the speed is high.
A mark shows where you are. Film a jump, the AI measures each phase and shows your hop-step-jump split, so you can see whether an oversized hop is stealing from your step and capping the total.
