Eastern Challenge 2004

Four high schools from the Palmetto State competed at the Eastern Challenge on Jan. 24 at Eddie Smith Field House in Chapel Hill, N.C. Dorman, Ridgeview, Spring Valley, and Westside made a presence at the meet. Westside brought both a male and female squad.

If there was any question whether or not Deep Creek would remain as the dominant boys' track program in the state, those doubts quickly vanished as the defending AAA state indoor and outdoor track team champions made a late season debut at the Eastern Challenge held at the University of North Carolina's Eddie Smith Field House. Deep Creek amassed a total of 42 points to win the boys' team title with three state leading marks coming from Deep Creek athletes.
