The meet never returned, ending one of the South's and North Carolina's most competitive
Future Olympian and world record holder Jim Beatty (Charlotte Central) competed at this meet, Often, North Carolina schools would travel out-of-state to get better competition, driving to Alabama, D.C., Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia to match up against power schools from those areas. This meet allowed state powers and others to stay in state, as top North Carolina programs at the time, Charlotte Central High, Durham High, Charlotte Myers Park, Chapel Hill High, Raleigh Broughton and Winston-Salem Reynolds, battled out-of-state powers Douglas Freeman (Richmond, VA), Washington & Lee (Arlington, VA), Dreher (Columbia, SC), Dobyns-Bennett (Kingsport, TN) and others on an annual basis.
**Julie Shea (Raleigh), who would go on to win state titles and set national high school records
at Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons and earn All-American honors at N.C. State, ran in the 1970 meet.
She ran the 880-yard and set a then-state record for 10-under-aged girls,
running 2:35.4 (the old 10-under girls' record was 2:43.0). |

Researched by Brett Honeycutt
As far as we know, every year of the Duke-Durham Relays were run on Wallace Wade
Stadium's 440-yard track, before it was converted to 400 meters.
Among the major track meets held in Wallace Wade Stadium over the years were the
1971 Pan African/USA meet ..(more) ..(one more), and the US vs USSR meet in 1974.
