Carson Wilbur is a senior on the indoor track team and according to LHS boys’ indoor track coach Cathy Harris, Carson is a relentless runner who always excels.
“Carson is an athlete that gives 150% in every race he runs,” Harris explained. “He runs a great race no matter the distance. He runs with heart and soul and is a great example to others.”
Carson attended Frances Drake and Sky View before coming to LHS. He has lived in Leominster his entire life and started running in the middle school program under Harris’ coaching.
“In my many seasons with coach Harris she has taught me that in track you are competing against yourself,” Carson said. “Improving individually is much more important than winning a race. This mindset has helped my mentality both on the track and in other parts of life.”
Carson said success comes from the work put in.
“In track you have to put in the work no matter what,” Carson said. “There is no one fix that will make a runner 10x better. Every second off of my race time comes from hours of training, which is very rewarding.”
Carson also said he loves being a part of the LHS indoor track program.
“It’s a really strong and supportive community,” Carson said. Everyone pushes each other to do better and when one person races well everyone is supporting them.”
Carson, a CTEi student, is looking to study electrical engineering in college and hopes to run track at the club level.
At LHS/CTEi, Carson also plays baseball and his favorite class is Electronics with his favorite teacher, Mr. Antonetti.
Away from school and the track, Carson enjoys going to the gym and hanging out with friends.
So proud of the successful young man you’ve become! Your hard work daily inspires me to be a better person too! Whether it’s your straight A’s and the effort you put in school to the training in track and baseball that you do, including all the extra hours at the gym, and all the personal goals you’ve achieved along the way! Leominster is lucky to have such a great inspiration as one of their own! I can’t wait to see what the next chapters bring for you!
