highest jump
Maximum vertical bound
Highest jump refers to the greatest vertical distance achieved in a leap, whether in athletic competition or casual measurement.
In track and field, the high jump event awards victory to whoever clears the greatest height.
The phrase also appears in discussions of animal abilities: A flea's highest jump can reach 150 times its body length.
Someone's highest jump yet marks a personal record.
