"I've been striving to complete that goal since my eighth-grade year," Brendan said in an interview with The News Journal. "It feels great. I hope more of my teammates can join me in the state champions club next year."
A few of them came close. Kyle McDonough finished in second place in the 113-lb weight class, and Luke McDonough likewise earned second place for the 132-weight class. Niko Chilson and Andrew Brooks both earned place in their respective weight classes, 120 and 126, and Erik Lundberg came in fourth in 160.
“This is certainly a classic example of how hard work pays off!” said Athletic Director Joan Samonisky of the strong Sanford showing. “We are very proud of this group of student-athletes!”
