Whitt had the stage to himself in the intermission between afternoon prelims
and evening finals. Entering the competition at 16 feet, Whitt progressed
smoothly through 17 feet, where Florida record holder Mike Vani dropped out.
After making 17-4, Whitt set the bar at 17-10 and cleared easily on his first
attempt, breaking the meet record of 17-9.75 set by Pat Manson in 1986.
Three unsuccessful tries for a national record at 18-3.5 did not put a damper
on Whitt's day. He will have three more cracks at Tommy Skipper's record (18-3)
at the Great Southwest Classic in Albuquerque next week, Nike Outdoor Nationals
in Greensboro NC June 20 and USA Nationals in Eugene OR June 25.
