De Beque senior Scottie Vines has already broke the Colorado high school record this spring and qualified for the Olympic Trials this summer
Through a tilt/shift lens, Scottie Vines of De Beque Colo., stands for a portrait after breaking the Colorado high school high jump record during a track meet at Stocker Stadium in Grand Junction, Colo. on Friday, April 12, 2024. Motorists whizzing along Interstate 70 between Rifle and Grand Junction are unlikely to notice tiny De Beque, a tumbleweed town of fewer than 500 souls with only four students in the high school’s graduating class.
Vines’ jump in Texas was ineligible to be recognized as a state high school record because it happened out of state, but he went to a meet two weeks later in Grand Junction and leaped 7-4.25 again to claim the record. Vines, who is 6-foot-4, has athletic genes. His mother played basketball at a Utah junior college. His father, also named Scottie Vines, won the Alabama high school 6A high jump title in 1998 with a jump of 6-10 — a height his son achieved as a sophomore — and played three seasons for the Detroit Lions at wide receiver.

More than 100 roam free in sagebrush parks and pinyon-juniper woodlands southwest of town on BLM land.
Scottie Vines celebrates with his coach Melissa Rigsby after breaking the Colorado high school high jump record during a track meet at Stocker Stadium in Grand Junction, Colo. on Friday, April 12, 2024. “Blood starts gushing everywhere,” Rigsby said. “A shoe that is broken, and now we’re profusely bleeding.”
