BOYS

1. Albuquerque Academy, NM

The Chargers were able to win their 8th cross country title in 9 years. Once again the battle between Academy and Los Alamos was a “Slug-Fest” as the two heavyweights stood in the middle of the ring and exchanged blows. Academy struck first and hardest when their dominating 1-2 punch of Ben Johnson and Dustin Martin finished 1st and 2nd respectively. Academy then followed it up with a barrage of body blows that eventually gave the Red Army the decision. The Chargers remain undefeated.
