NCHSAC State Champions
Over 100 high schools were members and the NCHSAC held classified championships in several sports. The NCHSAC was merged into the NCHSAA in 1968 and disbanded in 1969.
NCPrepTrack.com is attempting to recognize those athletes who were NCHSAC state champions in track and field. We have found that a lot of the results and records have been lost or misplaced. The microfilm collections at Duke University's library of historically black newspapers have been helpful but are incomplete. We are unsure if NCHSAC state track championships were held before 1952. Please help us with missing information by contacting us at this link.
