After graduating in 1927, Carr attended Mercersburg Academy before enrolling in the University of Pennsylvania in 1929. He was best known on campus as a track star; not only was he co-captain of Penn's varsity track team, he also won two Olympic gold medals during his college years. William never lost a race throughout his entire Olympic and intercollegiate career. He was also a proud brother of St. Anthony Hall. Primarily a sprinter and relay runner, Billy Carr had not run a major individual race before the 1932 Intercollegiate Championships and Olympic trials. His biggest competitor, Ben Eastman of Stanford, was gaining notoriety as being the fastest quarter-miler in the world, and the media turned their rivalry into an East vs. West showdown. In their first meeting, however, Billy proved to be the superior runner, beating Eastman in a seemingly effortless home stretch surge that earned him both the intercollegiate championship and a new world record. Billy went on to beat Eastman two more times in the individual 400 meter event; Billy's third victory over Eastman in this race came at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics when he set another world record of 46.2 seconds, winning a gold medal in the 400 meter event. At the '32 Olympics, Billy also anchored the American 1600 meter relay team, winning his second gold medal and setting his second world record. He had secured a place as one of the greatest sprinters of all time. The Olympics made Carr a celebrity, but unfortunately just before the start of his senior year at Penn, he suffered two broken ankles and a broken pelvis in an automobile crash, effectively ending his impressive competitive track career. He retired from track having never lost an intercollegiate race and his world record in the 400 meters would stand for another 20 years. After graduating from Penn in 1933 with a B.S. in Economics, Carr worked for the Insurance Company of North America until the onslaught of World War II. During the war he served as a Commander of Naval Intelligence. After the war, he took a position with Pan-American World Airways. Later in his career he moved on to become Vice-President of Prismo Safety Corporation and Potter Brothers, manufacturers of highway safety and building equipment. He died in Tokyo, Japan, in 1966 at the age of 56, leaving behind his wife, Rachael, and son, Allin. In 2008 he was inducted into the Natinoal Track Hall of Fame.
