North Carolina has been spoiled with some amazing talent over the last few years . . . the best part, many former National Champions are still competing. Wayne Davis II of SE Raleigh is the best hurdler in the US (has the stats to prove it). New Bern's athletes are relay specialists and have won multiple National titles over the last couple years, not to mention Fuquawn Green's 200m title last year.
Photo: Will New Bern win more relay titles? My guess is the Hendrix twins and Green will get it done.
*Note: Top athletes come from the 2008 rankings.
