That propelled Cummings to its fifth consecutive indoor crown— last year’s was contested as a winter track meet outdoors since the Eddie Smith Arena was not available– as Cummings tallied 53 points to 49 for runner-up North Buncombe. Monroe was third with 46, followed by Cuthbertson with 37 and West Carteret with 36. A total of 48 schools scored in the women’s meet.

Isaiah Moore of Burlington Cummings was the MVP of the men’s meet, but it wasn’t quite enough as Cummings finished fourth and Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons won the meet.

Gibbons had 42 points to 39 for Durham North Carolina School of Science and Math, with Waxhaw Marvin Ridge (37) third, Cummings (31) fourth, and Charlotte Berry Academy (28) in fifth. There were 55 teams which tallied points in the men’s meet.
