Fayetteville boys won state in Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor.

Supposedly it's just the second time that's happened.

It should be noted that Indoor is relatively new.

Still a good accomplishment though.

I believe Genoa Central girls did that just this year awesome. Amazing accomplishment.

Fayetteville boys will be tough to beat for years to come if they get the same athletes to come out with Bentonville splitting up. Har-Ber, Cabot, Conway, Bryant will have something to say about it, though.

Fayetteville did a good job of getting people to come together from other sports.  They grabbed a senior basketball player that had never competed in track and he high jumped 6'7" after just 5 weeks of training.  He won that event.

I was surprised Bentonville didn't do better their last year before their split.

It is a great accomplishment.  Heber Springs has done it multiple times.
"Only three other schools have ever won one Arkansas high school triple crown: Rogers in Class 7A, Russellville in Class 6A and De Queen in Class 3A." from an article written in 2013.   DeQueen accomplished it before the current 7-classification system.
