GREENSBORO
-- Top athletes from across the state of North Carolina will compete in a
second consecutive weekend of track and field as the North Carolina High School
Athletic Association holds state championships in two more classifications.
This weekend of competition will feature 1-A championships for both men and women on Friday, and then on Saturday the 2-A championships will be held, all at the Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University.
The 3-A and 4-A meets were held last weekend.
Action
in the field events will begin at 10 am and running events will start at 11 am.
It will be the 91st annual men’s championships and the 40th annual
renewal of the women’s event.
Burlington Cummings has won the
last five 2-A women's championships while Salisbury is the two-time defending
men's team champion in that classification. North Rowan was the 1-A team
champion among women's teams in 2010 while Durham's North Carolina School of
Science and Math won its second men's state crown in four years last year.
The
two defending 1-A team champions had outstanding performances in the regional
qualifying meets last weekend. Both North Rowan and NCSSM won both men's and
women's team titles in their respective regionals. Other regional team champs
include Robbinsville and Pamlico in men's competition and Hendersonville and
Lejeune among the women.
In
2-A, the men's regional champions include East Lincoln, Berry Academy (with
