The Fort Wayne Northrop sprinters were the cream of the crop in 2003. They went first, second and third in the 200 meters, the only time in the girls finals that a team ever placed three in an event and the first three places. The 4x100 meter relay set an IHSAA record that still stands after 19 years. In accomplishing this feat, they didn't even use their 200 meter winner Shauntel Elcock. The record time of 45.75 broke crosstown rival Fort Wayne Concordia's 2002 record of 47.32 by 1.57 seconds.

The lead off runner was freshman Tamara Adams, who would in 2006 become they only Indiana girl to win both the 100 meters and 100 hurdles in the same championship meet. She had five IHSAA state championship gold medals, two silver and two bronze and was nine times all-state.
