Trenton Central High School -- High Jump
Felix Davis is the only athlete in Mercer County history to jump 7 feet outdoors while still in high school. He accomplished that feat in 1984 as a senior at Trenton High.
Among Davis's major wins was a victory in the Penn Relays High Jump Championship as a senior in 1984, and an indoor state Group IV championship in the HJ in 1983.
In county competition, Davis won the outdoor county meet in 1982 and a three-peat indoors when he took HJ gold in the county meet from1982 to '84. In sectional competitions was twice the outdoor Central Jersey HJ champion--in 1982 and 1984.
Davis's scoring in championship meets helped lead Trenton's team to a State Group IV Championship in the 1984 indoor season, 2 consecutive outdoor CJ Sectional team titles in 1983 and '84, and 4 county team titles as Trenton's boys swept both indoor and outdoor county meets in '83 and '84.
Davis's all-time county record 7'0" jump came at the Plainfield Invite in spring of '84.
