Late Growth Spurt
Posted: 08-02-06 14:17pm

Hey I just turned 16 two weeks ago and I am around 5-5 1/2 ft to 5-6 tall. My dad is 5-11, 6-0 ish and my mom is around 5-3 1/2. My dad had a late growth spurt when he was either going into senior year in hs or going into freshmen year of college (he can't remember). He went from 5-6 to 5-10 in one summer and then grew another inch or two later on. Do I have a chance of this happening to me? Are late growth spurts hereditary? Please help.
