Notes
In the women’s race, last year’s runner up Mary Bonner Dalton, a senior at Myers Park, came back with a vengeance in 2023. She obliterated the 4A State Meet record, becoming the first female in NCHSAA history to complete the 5k state championship race in under 17 minutes. Dalton clipped the tape in 16:54.06, more than 50 seconds faster than her time in 2022. R.J. Reynolds senior Chandler Welsh finished in second place, 50 seconds after Dalton. Weddington senior Grace Hanson took third and Hoggard senior Ashlei Summers placed fourth. Cardinal Gibbons junior teammates Hannah Rae Shaffer and Addy Mitchell took fifth and sixth, respectively. As a team, Cardinal Gibbons scored 60 points to claim their 14th NCHSAA Women’s Cross Country title and fifth as a 4A program. Cutherbertson’s five-year run of state championships (18-20 as 3A, 21-22 as 4A) came to an end with a runner-up finish Saturday, 45 points behind Cardinal Gibbons.
