I was still growing at that age (peaked in weight at around 16 or 17, so I wasn't done growing yet). Perhaps I'm off a bit on the height (could have been 5' 11"), but I definitely grew a bit more.
Interesting theories about posture though. I have no idea if that affected it or not.
You weren't done growing at 17?
I'm glad I stopped at 15.
I wish parts of me didn't stop at 15. ;)
Posture could account for some height change. 2" seems a bit dramatic, though. You'd have to be pretty hunched over to lose 2" to bad posture.
yes I'm guessing this is the cause. I used to slump a lot and was around 6 2" when measured. I spent a few months working on my posture and now I am 5 4" / 6 5"
That was my first thought, too.

My dad, who is 54, got taller since he started swimming every other day in the past two years.
