NOTE: in the database and in the calendar, this is the 2012 Indoor Track season.
Make sure you are searching the correct season!
This week, NCRunners will preview the upcoming indoor season. We will examine the top returners from last year, divided by classification (4A, 1A/2A/3A) and also separated into event groups (distance, sprints/hurdles, field events). Finally, the week will conclude with a look at the possible team contenders at the NCHSAA Indoor State Championship. All of this will be influenced not just by last winter's results, but also by the progress made through spring and summer (for power events) and even through the fall (for distance). The hardest piece of information is whether someone will be competing this winter; between schools that do not have indoor track programs, multi-sport athletes who play basketball or swim during the winter, and athletes or whole teams who simply choose to train through this time, we're never sure who will embrace the indoor season until the results start coming in. Here's a quick glance at the sequence of previews for the week:
