The Hendricken swimming program had won 24 titles in a row before that streak ended in 2014.
Now, the Hawks have a new streak that they’ll look to keep going deep into the 2030s. Behind record-setting times from junior star Max Miranda, Hendricken coasted past Barrington for the 2016 state championship.
Miranda helped set three records, two of his own in the 200 individual medley and the 100 fly, and one in the 400 free relay.
“As good as Max is, it’s the sum of all our parts, and that’s what I told them,” Hendricken head coach Dave Hanson said. “He wasn’t going to win the [400 free relay] by himself. It took three guys to give him the lead, and he’s not going to lose it.”
Miranda, Connor Levine, Lucas Stencel and Marc Andrew took silver in the 200 medley relay, finishing just behind Barrington as both teams smashed the event’s state record set in 1985.
The Hawks picked up points all over the place, including a third-place finish for Andrews in the 50 free and a fifth-place time in the IM for Stencel.
Hendricken’s deep roster carries over into this season, as a three-peat potentially looms on the horizon.
