Joining him will be his 3A conterpart, Patrick Campbell of Moorseville. Patrick's season has been unbelievable as he has improved a great deal. This is a great way for both boys to finish off XC in high school. In the girl's race, NC almost ended its draught, as Adrianne Soo of Durham Academy placed 11th and Kimberly Spano of North Meck was 13th. Both ladies return next year so it could be a trip to San Diego for one or both!  Much more on North Carolina at Foot Locker South inside.Photo Albums:Ben Hovis' | Paisley Gallery | John Olson'sVideos:Boys Seeded | Girls Seeded | Fr./So.
