In 1936, Albritton and Cornelius Johnson both cleared 6 ft 93 4 world record at the Olympic Trials , becoming the first people of African descent to hold the world record in the event. Albritton was second to Johnson at the 1936 Summer Olympics , with a height of 6 ft 63 4 silver medal in a jump-off after he and two other jumpers cleared the same height.
Albritton and Johnson were snubbed by Hitler when they went to collect their medals.[4] Jesse Owens was documented in the film Olympic Pride, American Prejudice [5]
Albritton won or tied for seven National Amateur Athletic Union outdoor titles from 1936 to 1950. He was AAU outdoor champion in 1937, 1946, and 1947 and tied for three national collegiate titles, in 1938, 1945, and 1950.
