On a beautiful summer day in Kernersville, some of the state's best athletes gathered to compete. Some of them still had goals to accomplish: a new PR, a qualifying mark for another meet. Some of them were just trying to stay sharp, with their eyes on meets still to come. Some of them just wanted to end the season on a positive note, get in one more good effort before moving on to the next season. Whatever the reason, the athletes certainly brought their best, and they rewrote the state, national, and all-time state rankings with their performances. Check out the highlights below!
