Hendricken won as a team on the boys side, getting back on top after missing out the last two seasons.

“It’s very important and very special. The banner at our home pool has one spot, one spot for 2024, one more spot to put a championship on. We have been talking about it all season so it’s great to see it coming to fruition. Today, our team came together. It was not one person,” said senior Damon Buchanan. “The depth was really important. We lost a bunch of seniors last year, but we had other people to fill in their spots. I couldn’t be more proud of this team.”

“We lost my freshman year, lost last year. So I’m just overwhelmed. We put in everything, our hard work paid off,” added junior Tristan Jordan.
