1A/2A | 3A | 4A
I've pulled year over year statistics on how many athletes were able to hit the qualifying standard for their respective classification. The standards were pulled from the NCHSAA website or from the NCRunners registration page. Standards were not based off how many athletes competed at the state championships, but how many hit the standard over the season. These stats were pulled from the rankings page. This pulls interesting data from this season like what standards might need to be a little faster or slower, or and shows how competitive the events were at the top year over year. The 1A/2A and 3A state meet split in 2014 creating two separate meets, so statistics come from the last 4 years.
NCHSAA 1A/2A Girls
Next season it looks like we will see standards get faster in both the boys girls track events. NCHSAA 1A/2A schools are more commonly competing in indoor track making the participation much larger. Over the years the number of qualifiers has significantly increased over the years.
