Albuquerque Academy again set the record with its girls team set in winning last year, totaling 335 points. And the Chargers girls won for the eighth straight time — also a record, breaking a tie with Los Alamos. It was the 24th team championship for the program, which pads its own state-best mark.

On the boys side, everyone was chasing defending champ Eldorado and all challengers came up short as the Eagles went back to back by holding off Los Alamos and Academy.

In the small school competition, Cottonwood Classical won both the boys and girls events.

Last year’s Chargers girls put up 290 points without winning a single event, displaying amazing depth.

The Chargers padded their total this year by winning the 200 freestyle relay and senior Maya Van Atta took gold in the 50 free.
