Bio

In his first track season, Nick Carr won the Bakersfield Invitational 1500-meter race; placed second in the Southern California Championships 1500-meter final; ran a leg on the school-record 4 x 800-meter relay (a record which still stands today); and ended the season among the state leaders. The next year, Nick went on to win the Southern California Championship 1500-meter Title and set an ECC record of 3:49.08, which stood for 30 years. Additionally, he ran the mile anchor leg of the current school-record 9:56.7 distance medley relay team.

Nick's athletic and academic achievements earned him a scholarship to the University of Colorado, Boulder where he was a member of two Big 8 championship cross country teams; won the 1500-meter at the 1982 Kansas and Drake Relays; won the University of Colorado relays mile and 5,000 meters in 1982 and 1983; and came within seconds of breaking the four-minute mile barrier.

Nick continued to compete at the national level after college and still officiates track & field meets in Northern California where he has worked for more than 15 years as director of the fitness center, as well as an associate professor of exercise sciences at Cañada College in the San Mateo Community College District.
