INTERESTING NOTES:
**Steven Clay didn't run the 1968 Alamance County Championships, but he did run in the state meet and
won 2 individual events and 2 relays and was MVP of the 1968 state meet
(a teammate won the hurdles at the county meet)

**The Alamance County Championships were integrated BEFORE other NCHSAC schools began
participating in the NCHSAA, and the meet was integrated as early as 1966 (and
possibly before)...in 1966 or 1967, the meet was 4 years old, so it might
have been integrated from the first one.

Thanks to Brett Honeycutt for contributing the above.
