Stones Sets High Jump World Record in Philadelphia
Dwight Stones, 22, Long Beach State, cleared 7 ft 7 in to set a new world high jump mark at the Bicentennial Meet of Champions in Philadelphia, affirming his status as the top jumper despite a recent Olympic bronze. The event also featured John Walker’s Dream Mile and unsolved Bayi scheduling as leaders discuss changes if Bayi does not appear. Walker won the Dream Mile in a slow 3:56.2 as Wellman edged Dixon and Wellman placed second, with Bayi’s absence clouding the program.
