CHARLESTON, S.C. – After two seasons, 48 wins, 455 points, 117 rebounds, 816 minutes, and a CAA regular season and tournament championship, TD Arena is a second home to Dalton Bolon. On January 31, he will return to TD Arena with an important mission – to break the Guinness World Record for most three-point attempts in 24 hours while raising money for his best friend's cancer treatment.
"On January 31, I'll be attempting the Guinness World Record for most three-pointers made in 24 hours. While the world record is amazing, I'm doing this to support my best friend Trevor [Cherry] in his battle with colon cancer. Trevor always said that I could break the world record, so I decided to go for it now, all for him," said Bolon. "He already has his plate full battling stage 4 colon cancer that has spread to his liver, which is stressful enough, but the financial burden on him and his family is also very real. Trevor and his family would do anything for me, so I wanted to find a unique way to involve the Charleston community that has always supported me so together we can support him."
Cherry and Bolon met at West Liberty University where the two attended before Bolon came to Charleston as a graduate transfer in 2021. He was granted another year of eligibility after a broken foot sidelined him for the 2021-22 season. In his final season, he helped lead the Cougars to a 31-4 record and March Madness appearance. The team peaked at No. 18 in the AP Top 25 poll while Bolon earned First Team All-CAA honors.
"My basketball journey has been a huge part of why I decided to attempt this record. I shot 404 out of 1,025 for 39% from three-point range during my college career, so I've always prided myself on my shooting ability. But a big part of that journey was Trevor, my college roommate at my first school for five years. He rebounded for me every single day, making sure I got the extra work in. Even when I transferred to the College of Charleston, he traveled to most of my home games to support me and keep me accountable. Trevor has been a vital part of my basketball journey, constantly pushing me to get better, and he's a huge reason why I became the shooter I am today."
Since graduating from CofC, Bolon now works full time as a pharmaceutical representative and has founded his own basketball training app, Psycho Hoops. He has competed in the boxing ring and called Cougar games as a color analyst on ESPN Radio Charleston. But it's the place that welcomed him with open arms that still holds all of the meaning.
"The Charleston community has supported me for who I am. I can be hard to deal with sometimes because I give my heart to the things I'm passionate about. People call me cringey, animated, you name it, but the Charleston community embraced me for who I am and fueled me to give everything I have for this city, even giving me the nickname Psycho D. I love this city for what the community has done for me and my family after playing in TD Arena.It has embraced me as a business professional, a father, and a fellow Charlestonian."
Charleston men's basketball has sold out 50 consecutive home contests dating back to December 29, 2022 – a game where Bolon recorded 11 points and three rebounds while shooting 50% from the field. He hopes the 24 hours in TD Arena feels just like that day, and the eight other sold out contests he was able to be a part of following.
"Attempting the record at CofC feels like I'm playing a home game all over again! I've seen the ball go through these nets thousands and thousands of times. It brings back memories of a sold-out TD Arena going absolutely nuts whenever a shot went down. I've always considered TD Arena my home and honestly still do, so spending 24 hours there will feel just like home."
