Following a decision by the Independent Interscholastic Athletic Appeals Board administered by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Board of Directors convened in a special meeting on Tuesday morning to consider the matter involving the conclusion of the 2026 8A Men’s Track and Field State Championship.
The Appeals Board vacated the disqualification from the 4×400 relay. After review and discussion, the NCHSAA Board of Directors voted to declare Mallard Creek High School and C.E. Jordan High School as co-champions of the 2026 NCHSAA 8A Men’s Track and Field State Championship. The Board also voted to recognize Mallard Creek High School and Hough High School as co-champions in the men’s 4×400-meter relay.
The NCHSAA appreciates the work of the Independent Interscholastic Athletic Appeals Board and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction throughout this process. The Association thanks the student-athletes, coaches, school administrators, officials, and member schools involved, including Mallard Creek High School, for using the appeals process provided under state law and NCHSAA policy. That process is designed to promote fairness by enabling informed review of officiating decisions that result in disqualification or suspension.
“We recognize that this situation has been emotional for the student-athletes, coaches, schools, and communities involved,” said NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker. “At the center of this matter are young people who have invested countless hours into their sport and their team. We appreciate the work of the Independent Interscholastic Athletic Appeals Board and respect the process that led to today’s outcome. We are pleased that this matter has reached a resolution and that the accomplishments of the student-athletes involved can be recognized.”
The NCHSAA remains committed to fair competition, sportsmanship, and the educational mission of interscholastic athletics. The Association recognizes the efforts of all those who participated in the review process.
BREAKING: The appeals panel concluded “Mallard Creek presented clear and convincing evidence that the student-athlete did NOT engage in unsporting or unacceptable conduct…” @wsoctv | 🎥: @HighSchoolOT
🚨 A JOURNALIST JUST FILMED INSIDE THE NEWARK ICE PROTEST CAMP. READ THAT AGAIN:
Nick Sortor went in with a hidden camera. What he found wasn't a spontaneous protest.
It was a fully operational logistics base.
– Tens of THOUSANDS of dollars in equipment already on site
– Riot gear. Not signs. Not banners. RIOT EQUIPMENT.
– Hot food delivered every single hour, on schedule
– Medical sections, expensive tents, organized supply chains
– This is outside Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, NJ
– Protests have been running for over a week — round the clock
– Andy Ngo documented week-long violence by Antifa at the same facility
– State police had to intervene just to restore basic order
– Nobody is asking who is paying for hourly catered deliveries to a protest camp
– Nobody is asking who sourced the riot equipment
– Nobody is asking who coordinates the resupply logistics for a week-long operation
This is not a group of angry citizens who showed up with signs.
This is a funded, staffed, continuously resupplied operation with riot capability.
Someone is writing checks for this. Someone is organizing the deliveries. Someone made sure the equipment arrived.
The protesters didn't just open a door that CANNOT be closed.
The funders did. And nobody is looking for them.
Follow and turn on notifications before it's too late.
