well i think that you will get a growth spurt and i think it takes some time. I would say 5'7 or 5'6. i have see guy go away for the summer and come back couple inches. i dont know if this makes a differnece but they have built some musle when they were gone exercising and all that. but i dont think that will matter to you. Sounds to me your athletic and i would just weait and see. give it some time. i wouldnt go over board on the creatine just work out and see what happens. that is advice

i have a question similar to this. I am 20 years old. When I was younger I had homofluous influenza. I have a size 11 shoe, but I am only 5'10". Do you think I can grow any more? doctor said I was predicted to be around 6'1". Then I got homofluous (I basically had meningitis and was within 24 hours of dying), and some think it stopped growth. Any advice?

Though this is an old topic, maybe you will come across it. :cry:

Anyhoot, when I was a freshmen in highschool, I was 5'3. At the end of the year, I was 5'6.

The year after I grew to 5'8, and finally by the end of HS I was 5'9 and 1/2.

Now, I am barely average height for an American but what matters (to you in your compairison) is that mom was 5'1 and dad 5'2. I tower over sister who is 5ish and tower over brother who is 5'5ish, who are both older than me.

Point is, parents were both very short and I still managed to sqeak out a decent height without...er... trying. So, you never know, you could make almost six foot.

Yes you will. Growth shouldn't finish until between 18-21.
