Just noticed this....first off...Congrats.

Obviously 5'-6" is good....where does 5'-3" place amoung the top jumpers....understanding this is an event of inches and 3" could mean the difference of 20 or more places....just curious.

For her to jump that in Jan indoor is very good. Dyestat, one of the more recognized track and field sources in the country,  who was actually on hand covering the meet at which Brannon jumped this height, recognizes 5'1" as a national elite indoor and 5'3" outdoor. The best girls in the state/nation are around 5'8-5'11 right now. Hope this sheds some light.
