The Wachovia Cup award, sponsored by Wachovia and the N.C High School Athletic Association, recognizes the high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performance within each of the state’s four competitive classifications.
Chapel Hill’s sweep of the 3-A cross country crowns and second-place finish in men’s soccer were the top performances for Tiger teams, which tallied playoff points in five sports for a 247.5 total to finish in first place, just five points ahead of Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons. Gibbons won the 3-A volleyball state title and was second to Chapel Hill in both men’s and women’s cross country.
