NCAA

After his time in the OFSAA Carlton Chambers signed on at Clemson University with a full track scholarship.

The summer of 1994 saw Chambers win a Silver medal at the Canadian Juniors behind defending champion Frempong. This qualified him for the World Juniors in Portugal. Carlton Chambers ran a new Canadian Junior record there, breaking Desai Williams' 16 year old 10.32 with a 10.30, 5th place finish. Chambers got his first international relay experience as the Canadian Junior 4x100m team of Chambers, Frempong, Dave Tomlin and Chris Robinson won Bronze in 39.90. That same summer he was selected to run the third leg of the Commonwealth 4x100m relay where he handed the baton off to Bruny Surin who ran it in for Gold.

After two years at Clemson, Carlton went to the 1996 NCAA championships and ran to a fourth place in the 100m with a time of 10.19. Ato Boldon of UCLA won the race and later went to the 1996 Olympic Games and ran a 9.90 100m in Atlanta to win bronze.
