Note: This was the only year this particular 2.1 mile course was used. A new 2.7 mile course was used in 1973.

The Western North Carolina Activities Association did not merge into the NCHSAA until the fall of 1977. There were about 40 schools that would hold their own championships in each sport. The WNCHSAA hosted a cross country championship from 1972-1976.
