RALEIGH -- The following are the best reported North Carolina high school track and field performers for the 1998 season. (Times in hundredths of a second are fully automatic. Times with a c were converted from hand times in tenths by adding 0.24 seconds in the 100 and 200 meters and 110 and 300 hurdles and 0.14 seconds in the 400 meters and 400-meter relay).

Times without a "c" and having 2 decimal places were legitimate automatic times.
Times without a "c" and having 1 decimal place are unconverted hand times.
Relay splits are not allowed on this list. (e.g., 3200m Relay splits cannot go on the 800 list).

Corrections may be reported by calling Gene Cherry at (919) 829-8940 or e-mailing him at gcherry@nando.com
