All respective North and South Carolina Coaches Associations and governing bodies have approved their coaching selections for participation in this Carolinas Football Classic affectionately known as America’s Original All Star High School Football Game - where strong legs run, so crippled legs might walk.

WINSTON-SALEM – Knightdale held off Cary, clinching the team championship on the final event, to win the men’s title on Saturday night in the 27^th annual North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 4-A indoor track and field championships at JDL Fast Track.

Knightdale held a slim lead entering the final event, the 1600 meter relay, but won the event to clinch its second consecutive championship. Knightdale shared the title with Southeast Guilford a year ago.

Knightdale held a 65-54 edge over runner-up Cary, followed by Southeast Raleigh (43), Fayetteville Terry Sanford (31) and Jamestown Ragsdale (23). A total of 50 schools scored points in the men’s meet.

Cary senior Bakri Abushouk, who won the NCHSAA 4-A individual cross country title in the fall, had a tremendous meet, capturing three individual titles to earn Most Valuable Performer honors. He took first place in the 1000, 1600 and 3200.

Jon Beyle of East Chapel Hill broke a 23-year old all-classification record in the shot put with a distance of 61 feet, 10 inches—just short of four feet beyond the old mark. The Knightdale four by 400 relay team finished in a time of 8:01.07, better than four seconds faster than the former overall record.

In the women’s meet, Tyra Lea led Wakefield to its third straight women’s title. Lea won the triple jump and took first in a record time in the 300 meters to earn MVP honors.

Wakefield tallied 80 points to 72 for second-place Southeast Raleigh. Winston-Salem Parkland was third with 32 points, followed by Asheville T.C. Roberson (31) and Cary Green Hope (29). There were 40 schools which scored in the women’s meet.

Sabrina Moore, a senior at North Mecklenburg, was a double winner with victories in both the long jump and the 55 dash. Wakefield’s Kristen Lee cleared 12 feet, six inches in the pole vault for a new all-classification mark.

WINSTON-SALEM – Isaiah Moore of Burlington Cummings won a pair of events Saturday to lead Burlington Cummings to the men’s team title in the seventh annual North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 1-A/2-A/3-A indoor track and field championships at JDL Fast Track.

The Cummings junior established a new 1-A/2-A/3-A record in the 55 hurdles with a winning time of 7.44 seconds and also took first place in the high jump to win the meet’s Most Valuable Performer award. The Cavaliers tallied 36 points, with North Lincoln second with 27 points and Northeast Guilford a point back in third with 26. Weddington. North Forsyth and Charlotte Berry Academy were tied for fourth with 22 points. A total of 63 schools tallied points in the men’s meet.

West Carteret’s John Crossley shattered the classification record in the 1000 by over four seconds in 2:30.34.

The women’s championship was tightly contested, with four teams within a single point of first place entering the final couple of events before West Carteret prevailed. West scored 41 total points with Waxhaw Marvin Ridge and Monroe tied for second at 34. High Point T.W. Andrews and Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons were deadlocked in fourth with 31 points. There were 54 schools scoring in the women's championship.

Blake Dodge, a junior at West Carteret, had a great performance in the women’s meet to earn MVP honors. She won both the 1000 and the 1600, setting a classification record in the 1000, and ran the lead leg on two winning relay teams, in the 1600 and the 3200.

The Cummings women, which had taken the team title five times in the last six years, finished in a tie for 10th. 

CARY— Records fell all over the place as Charlotte Catholic rolled to its eighth consecutive 3A women’s title on Friday night in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 3A swimming and diving championships at the Triangle Aquatic Center.

Catholic rolled to victory with a whopping 469 points in earning its 12th straight NCHSAA crown over two different classifications. Waxhaw Marvin Ridge was second with 258, followed by Chapel Hill (228), Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons (184) and Concord Jay Robinson (133). A total of 30 schools scored in the women’s competition.
