Longest all-time high school sports win streaks

It's known as "The Streak" at De La Salle (Concord, Calif.). The 151-game consecutive wins streak has been chronicled on the big screen and in a pair of books. While the streak is incredibly impressive, considering it lasted over 11 seasons, it's not even close to the longest winning streak in high school sports. In MaxPreps' list of the longest winning streaks of all-time, there are more than 50 win streaks of over 150 consecutive victories.

Leading the way is Brecksville-Broadview Heights (Ohio), which won an incredible 777 gymnastics meets in a row between 2003 and 2014. Next is Miller Place (N.Y.), a badminton team that rarely gave up a point in going 32 years with out a loss while racking up 504 wins.

A streak that may eventually top them all, however, is Brophy College Prep boys swim team, which hasn't lost a dual meet in the pool since 1970 and has 480 victories in a row (there are three forfeit wins during the streak, however). In terms of years, no program's streak has gone on longer than the Broncos' 50-year run.

MaxPreps' list of longest win streaks, includes a Top 25 along with all teams that have 100 or more consecutive wins. The list does not include ties or "unbeaten" streaks. Only wins makes the list.

The problem is that there are a number of programs that are not aware of how many consecutive game or dual meet wins they have. Carmel (Ind.), for instance has not lost a dual meet in girls swimming since 1983. According to Athletic Director Jim Inskeep, however, the school has not kept track of the number of dual meet wins.

Likewise, Bolles (Jacksonville, Fla.) has won over 30 straight state championships, but head coach Pete Verhoef says the school has not kept track of dual meet wins.

Sehome (Bellingham) went 384-1 under coach Nola Ayres in girls gymnastics during the 1970s and 80s, but Ayres took some time off during that run to go back to school and there's no indication of the length of any of Sehome's win streaks.

The list is also for overall win streaks, not league win streaks. Among those with long league win streaks include Punahou boys tennis at 260 in a row and the Haddonfield girls tennis team (350 in a row according to coach Jeff Holman) and the boys tennis team (500 in a row).

The king of win streaks, or perhaps that should be queen, is Xavier College Prep (Phoenix). The all-girls school has five teams with streaks of 100 or more wins.

Resources for the streaks list include the National Federation of High Schools record book, the Cal-Hi Sports Record Book and Almanac by Mark Tennis and Nelson Tennis, state association websites and searches via newspapers.com.

Longest all-time high school sports win streaks

1.  777, Brecksville-Broadview Heights (Broadview Heights, Ohio), gymnastics
Years: 2003-14
Lost to: Magnificat (Rocky River, Ohio)
Note: The streak needs some context since Brecksville couldn't have possibly held an average of 70 dual meets a year over 12 seasons. However, coach Joan Ganim told Cleveland.com in 2014 that the streak included any dual meets, tri-meets and tournaments in which Brecksville defeated other teams. According to Ganim, if Brecksville defeated 20 teams in a tournament, that was equal to 20 dual meet wins. The Ohio High School Athletic Association does not designate how a school can calculate dual meet wins.

2.  504, Miller Place (N.Y.), badminton
Years: 1973-2005
Lost to: Smithtown
Note: Also the home of "Karate Kid" Ralph Macchio, Miller Place went 32 years before losing a match. Featured in Sports Illustrated, ESPN and the New York Times, Miller Place often did not give up a point in a match, let alone come close to losing. Coach Pat McCarrick started the program in 1973 and never lost a match in her 27 years of coaching, building a record of 389-0.

3.  480, Brophy College Prep (Phoenix), boys swimming
Years: 1970-current
Lost to: Ongoing
Note: Brophy College Prep enters the 2020-21 school year with a streak that hasn't been broken in 50 years. According to one report, the team had to forfeit three matches due to an ineligible swimmer during Pat O'Neill's tenure over the past two decades as reported by the Brophy College Prep student newspaper. However, when O'Neill left the program a few years ago, he reportedly had never lost a dual meet or state championship while at the school. The Broncos have not lost a match in the pool since 1970.

4.  459, Brandon (Fla.), wrestling
Years: 1973-2008
Lost to: South Dade
Note: At the time, Brandon's streak was the longest win streak by a team that competes for a state championship (badminton is not a state championship sport in New York, see Miller Place). Under coach Russ Cozart, Brandon had posted a record of 647-6 during his tenure (which did not include the first 74 wins of the streak) when he was inducted into the FHSAA Hall of Fame in 2017.

5.  371, Christian Brothers Academy (Lincroft, N.J.), boys cross country
Years: 1974-current
Lost to: Ongoing
Note: The Colts broke the national record of 265 in a row by Blackstone-Millville Regional in 2004. Under coach Tom Heath, CBA won 26 state championships and Meet of Champions titles. Heath had a record of 421-7 over 45 years when he retired after the 2015 season.

6.  365, Parkland (Winston-Salem, N.C.), wrestling
Years: 2006-14
Lost to: Unknown
Note: By competing in dual-meet tournaments, Parkland Magnet had seasons of 50 and 52 wins while racking up the second-highest dual-meet win total in history. Coach Maurice Atwood left Parkland for West Forsyth at the end of the 2014 season. There is no mention in the state association website or on Wrestling USA when Parkland's win streak ended.

7.  329, Fayetteville-Manlius (Manlius, N.Y.), girls tennis
Years: 1993-2014
Lost to: West Genesee
Note: Coach Philip Rudolph was named national Coach of the Year by the NFHS following the 2014 season. At that point in his career, he had a 420-6 record as the girls tennis coach.

8.  323, Wilson (Tacoma, Wash.), boys swimming
Years: 1960-83
Lost to: David Douglas
Note: A year after the school opened, coach Dick Hannula and Wilson embarked on a streak that included 24 straight state championships and a national record 323 wins. Wilson's consecutive win total for all sports stood until it was broken by Brandon wrestling. The streak is an unbeaten streak as Wilson did have a tie in 1977.

9.  316, Cherry Creek (Greenwood Village, Colo.), boys tennis
Years: 1972-99
Lost to: Wheat Ridge
Note: During the 28-year streak, Cherry Creek won 27 state championships. The only state title it didn't win was in 1991 when it lost to, coincidentally, Wheat Ridge.

10. 292, Sweet Home (Amherst, N.Y.), girls volleyball
Years: 1978-87
Lost to: Horseheads
Note: At the time, Sweet Home's winning streak was the longest ever for girls sports. Coach Sally Kus posted a 729-29 record in her 23 seasons as the team's coach.

11. 287, Fayetteville-Manlius (Manlius, N.Y.), boys tennis
Years: 1998-2019
Lost to: West Genesee
Note: Just like the girls team, the boys saw their streak end at the hands of West Genesee. The streak stretched between former head coach Ron Fuller and current head coach Mark McGuigan. Since 2002 under McGuigan, F-M has gone 220-1.

12. 281, Cheshire (Conn.), girls swimming
Years: 1986-2011
Lost to: Glastonbury
Note: Cheshire owns the longest girls swimming dual meet win streak in the nation and also had a 67-meet streak through 2019. Coach Ed Aston posted a 414-21 record with 25 state titles in his 33 years as head coach.

13. 265, Blackstone-Millville (Blackstone, Mass.), boys cross country
Years: 1974-93
Lost to: Bromfield
Note: B-M broke the national record of 250 in a row by Freedonia and held the record until it was broken by Christian Brothers Academy.

14. 255, Xavier College Prep (Phoenix), girls golf
Years: 1996-2019
Lost to: Ongoing
Note: Although Xavier College Prep lost the state championship to Pinnacle in 2019, it still has a 255-match win streak intact heading into the 2020-21 season. Head coach Sister Lynn Winsor has a record of 477-25 in her tenure as head coach.

15. 251, North Penn (Lansdale, Pa.), boys swimming
Years: 1987-2005
Lost to: Emmaus
Note: In 1987, Emmaus defeated North Penn in boys swimming. Eighteen years later, Emmaus won again. In between, North Penn won 251 consecutive dual meets for the third-longest streak in national history.

16. 250, Fredonia (N.Y.), boys cross country
Years: 1971-84
Note: The Fredonia streak lasted for eight years before Blackstone Millville surpassed the mark.

17. 247, Columbia (Maplewood, N.J.), girls volleyball
Years: 1977-88
Lost to: A.L. Johnson (Clark, N.J.)
Note: The team's first season was 1977 under coach Eugene Chyzowych, the school's soccer coach. Columbia won the first game in the history of the school and didn't lose until 1988 — a streak of 247 straight wins.

18. 247, Addison (N.Y.), boys cross country
Years: 1998-2008
Note: Not much information can be found on this team, which is listed as holding the second-longest dual meet win streak in New York history behind Fredonia.

19. 244, Paul VI (Haddonfield, N.J.), boys cross country
Years: 1980-2007
Lost to: Camden Catholic
Note: Paul VI holds the second-longest mark in New Jersey and a book has been written about the streak by Jim Enright, who coached the final four seasons of the streak.

20. 234, Elkhart Central (Elkhart, Ind.), girls swimming
Years: 1980-94
Lost to: Penn
Note: Coach Karen Leeth led Elkhart Central for 26 seasons, ending in 1994. She had a career record of 366-27-1 including the 234-match win streak, which set a national record at the time.

21. 222, Haddonfield (N.J.), boys cross country
Years: 1997-current

22. 221, Pearl River (N.Y.), girls cross country
Years: 1990-2017
Lost to: Tappan Zee
Note: The streak ended during a tri-meet. Pearl River defeated Nanuet during the meet for win No. 221, but Tappan Zee scored their final runners to end the streak.

23. 221, Weaver (Ala.), wrestling
Years: 1991-99
Lost to: Hartselle
Note: Weaver won three consecutive 1A-4A state titles in 1996, 1997, and 1998. Coach Gene Taylor led the team to nine state championships and a record of 501-34.

24. 218, Baskin (La.), girls basketball
Years: 1947-53
Lost to: Winnsboro
Note: The longest win streak for six-on-six girls basketball, Baskin won 71 games in a row after losing to Winnsboro for a run of 289-1. The streak is the longest basketball win streak of all-time.

24. 218, Tucson High Magnet School (Tucson, Ariz.), girls tennis
Years: 1959-73
Lost to: Sahuaro
Note: Tucson set the national record for consecutive girls tennis wins in the early 1970s, winning 10 state championships in the process. All of the wins were regular season wins as Arizona crowned state champions via singles/doubles play.
