— U.S. Figure Skating June 9, 2024 Carroll's career in the sport kicked off with junior bronze medal wins at the 1959 and 1960 U.S. Championships. He then skated at the professional level with Ice Follies for more than four years before transitioning to coaching full-time. Some of those students have become household names through their reign in the sport under Carroll's mentorship. He coached Linda Fratianna to two world championships and a 1980 Olympic silver medal, Timothy Goebel to two world silver medals and a 2002 Olympic bronze medal, and Evan Lysacek to a 2009 world championship and a 2010 Olympic gold medal — becoming Carroll's first student to win the title.
