Presque Isle High School senior Logan Caron will continue his academic and athletic career at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine, where he will study business management and compete on the Monks’ NCAA Division III golf team.
Caron signed his letter of intent on May 29, surrounded by family, friends, teammates, coaches and community supporters.
For Caron, the signing marked a meaningful milestone that represented more than individual achievement. He reflected on the community that helped shape his path.
“This isn’t just about representing my name,” Caron said. “I’m representing all of the people who have supported me along the way – my family, friends, coaches, community and the Wildcat community. I wouldn’t be here without them.”
Caron expressed deep gratitude, thanking his family and friends for their constant encouragement, sacrifices and unwavering presence throughout his athletic and academic career. He also reflected on how quickly time has passed.
“It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was holding my junior golf clubs,” he said. “Now I’m here signing to play college golf. It’s pretty incredible when you think about it.”
A member of the Presque Isle High School Class of 2026, Caron has built an impressive athletic and academic resume during his high school years. On the golf course, he served as captain of the Wildcats golf team, earned low medalist honors multiple times, and competed in numerous tournaments across the region. His leadership and performance contributed to the team’s success.
Throughout high school, he was a dedicated two-sport athlete, competing in both golf and ice hockey at a high level. Balancing the demands of both sports while maintaining academic responsibilities, he earned the respect of teammates and coaches for his discipline, commitment and work ethic. Whether on the ice or on the course, Caron demonstrated leadership and competitiveness.
In hockey, he developed toughness, teamwork and resilience, while golf helped him refine patience, focus and mental discipline, he said.
He ultimately chose to pursue golf at the collegiate level.
“One of the best decisions I ever made was switching my focus to competitive golf,” Caron said. “I still love hockey just as much, but golf is where my heart is. The game teaches you so much about yourself – discipline, responsibility and how to handle both success and adversity.”
The lessons extend beyond competition. Golf molds a person, keeping you grounded and pushing forward even when things don’t go your way, he said.
Caron has also been active in the community, earning service hours through volunteer work at local golf courses and supporting programs that help grow the game. He views giving back as an important part of being a student-athlete and hopes to continue that mindset at the collegiate level.
At Saint Joseph’s College, Caron will pursue coursework and continue to develop his golf game at the NCAA Division III level. Academics remain his top priority, but he is excited for the opportunity to compete at the next level and grow as both a student and athlete.
“Golf has opened doors for me, and I’m very thankful for this opportunity,” he said. “I’m excited to compete at the collegiate level and continue improving every day.”
His heart will always remain with the Wildcat community, he said, adding he hopes his journey can motivate younger athletes.
“If I can inspire even one kid to follow their dreams and stay committed, that means a lot to me. There are going to be challenges, but if you work hard and stay focused, good things can happen.”
