In April 2012, James Dove (Princeton High, IL, Class of 2012, cleared a personal best of 14’6″ during his last high school meet. Much has changed in his life since then. He now lives in NC, is a full time student at Durham Tech Community College, works at Papa John’s Pizza, and has been training with Pole Vault Carolina since July.
In his first meet in 18 months, James cleared a new personal best of 14’9″, and almost cleared 15’3″!
The future looks bright for James. In May he will complete his 2-year degree from DTCC, and will then enroll in a 4-year university where he hopes to earn the opportunity to become a collegiate athlete.
Way to go, James!
