Palm Harbor University athlete among nation's elite
As a high school cross country performer, Lucas Caron is pretty good.
As a triathlete, the Palm Harbor University senior is one of the country's best.
USA Triathlon currently ranks Caron as the fifth-best triathlete nationally in his age group and has given him All-American status. What makes this all the more impressive is that he only started competing in triathlons two years ago.
"He's done very well in a short space of time," said Caron's coach, two-time International Triathlon Union world champion Spencer Smith, who lives in Palm Harbor.
