If he was ultra-competitive, it would be more likely that he would take after his dad and use his super speed to fight crime without the gubberment finding out rather than do something that's basically no challenge to him whatsoever.
It's less asinine than using his powers to screw with his teacher or cheating at track, and basically the same conclusion they make during the movie where he's pleased with fighting goons and the robot. Being allowed to flex his powers with his parents should have made him drop the school sports obsession.
