But for four North Carolina athletes, the 2002 ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships at the Eddie Smith Fieldhouse looked a lot like the Virginia Tech-hosted 2001 ACCs.
UNC's Blair Woodward, Shalane Flanagan, Alice Schmidt and Ian Douglas repeated as conference champions during last weekend's ACC championships.
On Friday, Woodward, a junior, finished first in the long jump with a mark of 24 feet, 11 inches.
Woodward said the peformance will help him as he goes into the season's final meets and the NCAA Championships.
"I felt like I jumped pretty well," Woodward said. "I've still got to work on a few things. But, if I can build on this, then I'll be in good shape for the NCAAs."
Flanagan won the 3,000-meter race, and repeated in the one-mile with a time of 4:42.35. Three of the top four milers ran for North Carolina.
"I really didn't think about winning, just as long as one of us came in first," Flanagan said. "But, yeah, I wanted to come out and defend my title."
In the 800 on Saturday afternoon, Schmidt showed why she was an All-American and the ACC champion at that distance last year, leading the entire way en route to a 2:07.02 finish.
"I felt a little bit more pressure this year," Schmidt said. "But the pressure probably helped."
