Thanks for summing up. All uncertainty is now removed!
There used to be a website that chronicled SPARQ ratings and the subscores (including vertical leap) for some notable names. That site is no longer up, but I do clearly recall Brianna Turner's name being on that list and that her vertical was even a bit
higher than Lorin Dixon's, which is remarkable because Lorin's vertical (gleaned from another source) was measured at 33.7" during that same SPARQ testing. BT's, then, was measured at 34+, I just don't recall the figure. Armintie Price was also higher than Lorin.
Point being that competing in the high jump is one way, but not the only way, to have your leaping ability documented in some fashion. Another way to establish a pretty good idea is very novel: watch them play basketball! Lol! From what I've seen, Lorin Dixon made eye-popping plays, Gabby makes eye-popping plays, Armintie Price makes eye-popping plays and Nina Davis makes eye-popping plays. I could have told you that Dixon's vertical was in the same league as Gabby's just from
watching her play on the floor, and the eyes were in fact correct since I only just a few moments ago found a record of Gabby's vertical, which was measured at 34" around the time she was jumping over bars at ridiculous heights before her ACL. Likewise, when I see Nina Davis play I see her do similar things to LD and Gabby and A. Price on the court, due to her exceptional hops. I'm betting that her vertical is also well over 30". Wouldn't surprise me.
So yes, all things considered, there is a very strong comparison to be made, which in this case is fun because so few players in WCBB are at that rarefied level.
