The Marist boys won their 11th overall championship and first since 2022 by the narrowest of margins, accumulating a final score of 319 to edge out second-place Northview by just four points.

Third-place North Oconee (304) and fourth-place Westminster (300.5) weren’t far behind.

The girls’ event wasn’t as dramatic, as Marist finished with 485 points, well ahead of runner-up Midtown (322).
