The following are the best reported North Carolina high school track and field performers for the 2000 outdoor 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 100, 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. (for example, 4x800m Relay splits cannot go on the 800 list)
This list includes performances by North Carolina high school athletes during the 2000 outdoor season including postseason meets through the FootLocker National Outdoor Meet, June 16-17.
Thanks to Gene Cherry of the Raleigh News and Observer for doing all of the hard work in compiling these lists.
