Jim was a star athlete at Catholic Central who became a quadriplegic from a diving accident in college. He returned to Catholic Central to coach cross country and pole vaulting. He was the best pole vaulting coach around and passed away some years ago. This trophy and competition are a good way for students to honor him and give to an organization that shares Jim’s attitude about living with a disability.
