My daughter had a GIGANTIC growth spurt the Summer going into her sophmore year of high school! I mean giant, it was so noticable that on the first day of school the staff and kids were like "whoaaaa!!! You grew!!". She ended up being 1 of the 2 tallest girls in the high school (the other girl is same height!) and the only reason these two girls were not the tallest even over all the boys is because her best guy friend is 6'8! So he of course was the tallest boy... but other than him, the two girls were the tallest of everyone.
All through middle school she was kind of on the shorter side, but I always just assumed it was because she was also two years younger than the others - but then when I looked at the kids in the grade she was suppose to be in, those girls were even taller than her. So we just assumed she was going to be shorter like her grandma. But here we are today, she's 19 and a bit over 5'11" !!
