The NCHSAA began official State Championships for boys and girls Indoor Track & Field in 1987. Brett Honeycutt, in researching old newspaper archives and school yearbooks, has found some interesting historic material on NC high school indoor track decades before that. (!)
FIRST HIGH SCHOOL INDOOR MEET IN NORTH CAROLINA NOTE: information mainly from newspapers, The Tar Heel and Durham Morning Herald, but also from the Maroon & Gold, Elon's student newspaper ***The Durham Herald said, "In every athletic meet of like character, there are outstanding events. The first North Carolina indoor meet proved no exception to the rule." **"The indoor meet in Durham was the first of its kind held in this state" reported by the Maroon and Gold (Elon student newspaper) *First Annual, in conjunction with a college meet, elementary meet, military meet, and YMCA and Club meet. *3,000 spectators were there, and "the 35-piece N.C. State band furnished music throughout the evening, and gave lots of pep to the rooters." ... was there as well as local officials (and people dressed in formal attire) ... there was also a free dance afterward at the Big Four warehouse.
**The meet began at 7 p.m. and ended at 10:30 p.m. **Honorary Games Committee: Durham Mayor J.H. Manning (Chairman); Trinity College (which 2 years later became Duke Univ.) President Dr. W.P. Few; University of North Carolina President Dr. H.W. Chase; State College (NC State) President Dr. W.C. Riddick; Wake Forest College President Dr. W.L. Poteat; Elon College President Dr. W.A.

Newsome; Assistant Adjusant General of North Carolina, Major Gordon Smith; 117th Field Artillary, Major John Harrelson. **Interesting note: "(Roy) Blackman, a youth of West Durham High School, entering the high jump, with only one leg, and pressing men with two legs, winning fourth place was the real feature of the meet. His final jump was over 5 feet. Each time that he jumped he contrived to keep his balance. He was cheered constantly by the spectators. After the event, a collection was taken by a Durham cop and enough money was secured to buy an artificial limb for him. In addition to being able to jump, he has also shown his stuff behind the bat as catcher for his high school team." -- Tar Heel. |

After the 1924 meet in Asheville, there was a 5 year lapse, before the indoor meet picked up again in 1929 in Chapel Hill, held in UNC's original Tin Can. The indoor meet remained on high school schedules to start the OUTDOOR season, it appears, because the meets were always around March 8, 9, 10 or thereabout. |
