Tommy Skipper 17-6.5
Sandy OR jr Tommy Skipper wanted to wait until 17 feet to enter
the competition, but the swirling winds made him be more conservative
and come in at 4.95 meters, or 16-2.75. Even then, only two other
competitors were left to jump with Skipper at the next height, 16-8.75,
and Skipper was the only one left standing after that. Skipper then
raised the bar immediately to 17-6.5 to improve on his US#1 mark
for the season. He made that on his third try and then went for
Lawrence Johnson's meet record of 5.51 meters or 18-1 by setting
the bar at 5.52 meters. He came close on one attempt,
but struck out. Skipper said the winds bothered him all day. "I
didn't feel good at all."
