Albuquerque Academy Preview
The Chargers were seven points shy of a 4-peat that would have put them at a phenomenal 15 state championships in the past twenty years. Justin Hickey returns off a 6th place performance in 2018 as well coming off a stellar track season that saw personal bests in the 1600m (4:30) and 3200m (9:32).
