Mike
Carroll served as captain of the Montgomery College’s first track and
field team in 1966 and co-captain of the 1965-1966 cross-country teams.
He was voted most valuable athlete on the track team, which took
both the 1966 Tri-State and Region 15 NJCAA championships, surprising
the then-dominant New Jersey and New York schools.
He won the 330-yard intermediate hurdles event in both leagues,
beaten only once. Nicknamed “Mr. Everything,” he was also the lead
athlete in the long jump, triple jump, 120-yard high hurdles and
440-yard relay events. The cross-country team never left the top 4 slots
in both Tri-State and NJCAA leagues in 1965-1966.
After graduation from Towson University, he taught at Catonsville
Community College where he coached cross-country, indoor and outdoor
track and field. Mr. Carroll has been named NJCAA Coach of the Year in
1981. Currently he is Professor/Coordinator of Physical Education at
Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), Catonsville, Maryland.
Recently, he has volunteered as head volleyball coach for the
Howard County Special Olympics team, piloting them to three consecutive
state championships, from 2005 to 2007.
