Hibbert’s spectacular performance shattered both the indoor record of 17.20, previously held by Melvin Raffin of France since March 2017, and the outdoor record of 17.50 set by Volker Mai when he represented East Germany in 1985. Moreover, Hibbert also broke Clive Pulllen’s national indoor record set in 2017, making him the new NCAA collegiate record holder.
By choosing to skip the second round, Hibbert has given himself a substantial advantage in the final, where he currently leads the competition.
