Hendricken also had three students place in the top 3 overall in each of the Decathlon’s three division: Steven Huang (Honors Division), Alden Pratt (Scholastic) and Ryan Brady (Varsity)! The top six overall scorers all came from Bishop Hendricken!
The Hawks accumulated a total of 41,619 points. Hendricken was more than 10,000 points ahead of silver medallist East Greenwich and nearly 12,000 points clear of bronze-winning Classical.
