Greensboro Day hurdler, Caldwell distance runner each win three state titles
India Wilson of Greensboro Day and Hunter Riffey of Caldwell Academy each added to their collection of state titles on Saturday.
Wilson, the Greensboro Day sophomore, has now won nine individual track state championships.
Competing in the NCISAA Division II state meet at Ravenscroft in Raleigh, Wilson won the 100 hurdles in 14.32 seconds, the 300 hurdles in 44.06 and anchored the 4x400 relay, which had a season-high 4:10.44. She finishes the season ranked second in the state behind only Cummings' D'Anna Cotton in the 300-meter hurdles with her 42.73 time at the Panther Invitational on April 11 and finishes 12th in the state for the 100-meter hurdles with her 14.26 at the Forsyth Country Day meet on March 24.
Her 300-meter hurdles time is tops in the area, while she ranks third in the area for the 100-meter hurdles behind only Page junior Londyn King (13.91) and Dudley sophomore Amber Williams (14.11).
The association's Division I state meet occurred on Saturday at Forsyth Country Day and the Division III state meet took place on Friday at Wingate University.
Caldwell's Hunter Riffey, an Appalachian State signee, won the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters as the Eagles finished second with 105 points to Fayetteville Academy's 122 points in the Division III boys meet, after winning last year. Riffey also won the 1,600 and 3,200 in 2024 and 2025, in addition to being a three-time cross country state champion.
Caldwell's girls team finished third with 112.5 points, trailing champion Burlington Christian's 177.5 and Hickory Christian's 159. The Lady Eagles had four individual wins apiece from junior Leah Roland and eighth-grader Naomi Roland.
