CHAPEL HILL - There were no big dogs in Southeast Raleigh's lineup this year, but the result was the same. The Bulldogs won their third straight state 4-A girls team indoor track and field championship Saturday with a lineup full of non-household names.

Instead of multi-time state champions Gabby Mayo and Ebonie Cunningham dominating the awards stand, Southeast grabbed a top-eight finish in each event it had an entry.

The Bulldogs, with the benefit of just one individual state champion -- triple jump gold medalist Chrishawn Williams -- worked their way to 47 points, three better than West Charlotte.

"Everybody played a part in this; that's what makes it so great," Southeast coach Eddie Harden said. "We didn't have a lot of big wins but just a great team effort. When Chrishawn got first in the triple jump, it kind of started to come together.

"We just kept trying to pick up our points wherever we had the chance."

Williams, one of 14 Triangle-area entries to bring home a state 4-A championship from the Eddie Smith Field House at UNC, used the triple jump final to recover from her long jump outing.

"The long jump didn't go well at all," Williams said. "I only got one of my six jumps in on the long jump, so I knew I had to redeem myself in the triple."

As disappointed as Williams was with her long jump outing, she still finished fourth. She won the triple jump in 37 feet, 5.75 inches.

Southern Durham's Jacinda Evans set a meet record in winning the long jump at 19-1.25. Southeast Raleigh's Dannielle Davis picked up points in the long jump as well, taking fifth.

Both of Southeast's relay teams came home in sixth place, earning more points. Also scoring valuable individual points for Southeast were Davis (third in the hurdles), Amanda Lapp (second in the 1,000), Melody Jou (fifth in the pole vault) and Ebony Scott (fifth in the shot put).

Apex's Andie Cozzarelli took state titles in the 1,600 and 3,200. Her winning time in the 1,600 (5 minutes, 10.21 seconds) broke a 13-year-old record, and she ran 11:23.53 in the 3,200.

"I thought I might have a chance to win both," Cozzarelli said. "I wasn't thinking about time too much, I was just trying to get it done."

Cary's 4x800 relay squad also set a state record in its win. Kristen Azarelo, Jenna Christensen, Christine Dragonette and Sheridan Jordan teamed up on a run of 9:51.5, breaking the old mark by more than two seconds.

Clayton's Tori Rivers cleared 10-6 to take the high jump crown.

West Johnston collected its first two state championships in the school's short history with Marya Slater winning the girls 1,000 (3:09.07), and Dakota Peachee dominating the boys 3200, winning by 40 meters in 9:38.73.

Slater and Peachee were among the many victims of a virus that has spread throughout the Wildcats track squad this week. Peachee, who was seeded No. 1 in the 3,200, spent Friday thinking he wouldn't be well enough to compete Saturday.

N.C. State football recruit T.J. Graham took home the gold but left without the meet records he was after on the boys' side. Graham won the 55 meters in 6.38 seconds and took the 300 in 34.99.

"I wanted to get the records, but I'm still glad to get the wins," Graham said. "It gives me something to shoot for at nationals."

Graham also ran the anchor leg of the Wolverines' 4x400 relay team, which finished third.

Southeast Raleigh's boys also had a solid day, finishing tied for third with Green Hope in the team standings. New Bern and East Forsyth shared the state championship after a disqualification in the day's final event (the 4x400 relay) cost New Bern the title outright.

Wayne Davis gave Southeast its only championship in record-setting fashion. Davis erased the 2006 meet-best mark of nine-time hurdles (indoor and outdoor) state champion Johnny Dutch, clocking 7.11 seconds in the finals.

Cary's Michael Graham soared highest in the high jump, clearing 6-4 to take a state championship.

Green Hope claimed its points in the distance events. Zak Roshdy took silver in the 1600 (4:27.49), as did Doug Black in the 3,200 (9:42.79). Scott Hefner was third in the 1,000, and the 4x800 relay team finished seventh.

Southeast's boys nabbed bronze medals from Davis in the long jump, Steven Bell in the high jump and Keare Smith in the 55 hurdles. The Bulldogs' 1,600 relay team finished in fifth place as well.

Northwest Guilford's Scott Houston destroyed his year-old pole vault state indoor record, winning with a height of 16-6. He won last year's meet at 15-3.

The meet MVPs were 1000 and 1,600 boys champ Dylan Ferris of East Forsyth and West Charlotte's Nyosha Bryant, who won the 55 and 300 and placed in two other events.
