5 Things About Me: Carson Williams
- I grew up in Raleigh, went to high school just down the road at Cardinal Gibbons. I’ve been a fan at the Sir Walter Miler, so I’m pumped to be competing this year.
- I just graduated from Furman University this spring with a degree in Political Science.
- I am a steeplechaser first, but the mile is my guilty pleasure. I love every chance I get to run the event.
- I am a diehard Carolina Hurricanes fan and you best believe we’re bringing home the cup next year.
- Lastly, I love to fish. I grew up fishing on Lake Gaston, up on the NC/VA border.

- What’s your favorite way to hydrate to beat the heat of the Summer? Big fan of LMNT (not sponsored, unless they want to)
- What’s something you do for fun in your “offseason?” I just bought a new road bike so I’m excited to crush some miles on it, other than I love anything to do with a lake.
