1976 saw two especially outstanding athletes set new state meet records. Julie Shea, a junior at Cardinal Gibbons took 26 seconds off of the Mile record with a 4:50.8. (Shea set a National Record in this meet in 1977.) Later, running for N.C. State, Shea earned 11 All American Cross Country and Track titles and won 8 national championships. She won the 5000 at the 1980 Olympic Trials.

Kathy McMillian (Hoke County) longed jumped 21-7 to better the record of 20-2.5 she had set her junior year. Previously, as a freshman and sophomore she had set meet records of 17-7 and 18-0. McMillian, who was to compete later in 1976 in the Montreal Olympics, also won the 100-yard dash (11.1) and the 220 (24.4).

Hoke County's girls won their fifth state team championship in a row. This was the fifth year that a state meet for girls was held.

All NCHSAA classifications competed together in Track and Field in 1976.

Story from the Wilson Daily Times: McMillian Again Unstoppable RAEFORD, N.C. (AP) -- Kathy McMillian's running and jumping led host Hoke High School of Raeford to its fourth straight North Carolina girls track title Friday.

Hoke scored 32 points to 17 for runnerup West Charlotte. Then came Jacksonville xx.5, Charlotte Myers Park 15, and South Mecklenburg 10.
