Albuquerque Academy Chargers

Congratulations to our Charger athletes on an incredible year! The spring season has ended, with state championships for boys and girls tennis, boys and girls golf, and baseball. Boys track and field were runners-up at state, while the girls took third. In tennis, Joseph '24 is the individuals champ, while Tanner '23 and Connor '24 took the title in doubles, and Anya '24 is the individual champ for girls golf. Two boys relay teams finished on top -- 4x400 and 4x800 -- while Gigi '23 was the triple jump champ and the girls 4x800 team took first. Way to go, Chargers!
