GREENSBORO -- Charlotte Berry Academy was impressive from start to finish to capture the team title in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association men's state 2-A track and field championships at the Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University on Saturday.
Berry Academy piled up the margin of victory primarily on the strength of its sprinters, winning both the four by 100 and four by 200 relays in new state 2-A record time and taking three of the four top spots in the 100, led by Kedrick Davis and his record 10.47 clocking. Berry Academy also won both the 1600 and 3200 relays for a clean sweep in the relay department, the first time that has happened since the four relays have been a part of the championship starting in 1986.
