Last week was Conference Meet Week for NCAA Division I schools (and many others as well), and the championship atmosphere pushed many former North Carolina high school athletes to strong performances. One example was the All-ACC performance of Sarah Rapp (Cardinal Gibbons '11), who led all Virginia Tech runners at the ACC Championships in Charlottesville, VA. There are many more great times to check out, from the ACC's to the USA South Conference and nearly everything in between.
