Highlights from Weekend 7

(photo by John Olson) John Crossley (West Carteret) showed Saturday that he will be in any conversation about the best distance runners in NC.

 

It was a very busy Saturday for North Carolina athletes, and the rankings have been profoundly changed becaus of it.  There are far too many great performances to be recognized here, so this article only lists new state leaders, US top 25 marks, and North Carolina all-time marks.  Look for the Week 7 in Review article tomorrow morning for a more complete listing of all the great times and distances accomplished this week.
