I grew at a more or less standard rate… though I did have a 3" spurt one year. My brother, though, went from about 5’3" to about 6’3" in about a year. The biggest spurt was in summer, though, which was a big advantage because: shorts.
He was the athlete in the family and for awhile he had a hard time walking, much less shooting baskets or hitting a baseball. That was also the year that he demanded (and got) a bed with no footboard…
