Fayetteville High School was renamed Terry Sanford High School during the summer of 1968.

Meet Records were set in five events:
9.8 McGrew Booker, Jacksonville (old record 9.9 Carroll Maxwell, George Soule, Louis Jewell)
4:17.3 Silas Mayfield, Durham Hillside (old record 4:17.7 Frank Spratt, Chapel Hill 1967)
1:28.7 Jacksonville (old record 1:29.8, Charlotte Myers Park 1967)
58-2 3/4 Dave Taylor, Chapel Hill (old record 55-11 1/2, Bill Griffin, Edenton 1966)
171-8 Dave Taylor, Chapel Hill (old record 163-3, Flake Campbell, Myers Park 1964)

For 1968 the 1-A and 2-A schools competed in their own, separate events while the 3-A and 4-A schools competed together.

Philip Wicker of East Southern Pines won the 1-A/2-A vault clearing 13-6.5, higher than the 3-A/4-A winner and only 1 1/2 inches from the meet record.

Sophomore Tony Waldrop (Polk Central) won the 1-A/2-A Mile with a 4:22.0.
