In the mid-1970s, Salazar was competing on the track and field team at Wayland High School, from which he graduated in 1976. He was inducted into the Wayland High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2006. According to his Hall of Fame webpage, Salazar still holds the Wayland school indoor records in the 1,000-meter (2:19), mile (4:19.2) and two-mile (8:53.8) events.
