He transferred to South Africa in the 1990s and was twice a winner at the African Championships. His personal best with the new implement javelin is 89.16 m (292.5 ft). In the final years of his career, he returned to the United States and won a medal at the 1999 Pan American Games.

Dne 15. května 1983 vytvořil na v Los Angeles nový světový rekord výkonem 99,72 metru, kterým přehodil celé hřiště. To vyvolalo diskuse o bezpečnosti oštěpařských soutěží a v roce 1986 zavedla Mezinárodní asociace atletických federací používání oštěpů s těžištěm posunutým dopředu, což omezilo délku hodu. Mezitím ještě východoněmecký reprezentant Uwe Hohn vylepšil Petranoffův rekord na 104,80 m. (cs) Tom Petranoff (* 8.

Petranoff är mest känd för att han under 1983 kastade 99,72 meter vid en tävling i USA. Det var då ett nytt världsrekord och det stod sig fram till Uwe Hohn året efter kastade 104,80 meter. Efter Hohns kast ändrades reglerna för spjutet så att det inte skulle vara möjligt att kasta lika långt. Petranoff är därmed den som kastat näst längst genom tiderna. (sv)
