	In high school, Sabin was sent to the nationally recognized Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. He was a well-known sprinter and won a number of races in the Prep School circuit. After an injury, he began to practice other field and track events, including the javelin, discus and pole vault. Sabin liked the pole vault because it combined both his sprinting and gymnastics talent. After graduating from the Hill School, Sabin attended Yale University where he continued to excel at pole vaulting.

	In 1928, Carr lost his world outdoor record to the 1924 Olympic champion, Lee Barnes. At the Olympics, however, Carr took the gold medal, with Barnes finishing fifth. Carr, a Yale graduate, had a fine record in major championships, winning the AAU indoor twice, the IC4A outdoor three times, and the IC4A indoor twice. He never placed better than third at the AAU outdoor meet.		In 1928, Carr lost his world outdoor record to the 1924 Olympic champion, Lee Barnes.

	After the Olympics, Sabin Carr became the Secretary-Treasurer (the equivalent of the CFO today) of Associated Features, the motion picture company that produced “Harlem on the Prairie” in 1937, which is recognized as the first “all-colored” western musical movie. The movie, on which he was listed as associate producer, premiered at the Paramount Theater in Hollywood, and was first shown at the Rialto Theater on Broadway in New York City.
