The Boys Swimming season of 2023-24 was a record-breaker.

Henry Webb returns for Breck/Blake with his pocketful of medals. 

Is there more on the horizon for 2024-25? It appears you can count on it.

Breck/Blake, a cooperative of two Twin Cities private schools, cruised to a record-setting eighth consecutive team championship in the Class 1A meet in March at the Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center. It had shared the record with Rochester, which won seven in a row from 1953-59.

“This is a phenomenal accomplishment for our program,” Breck/Blake coach Brian Wright said after the meet. “Our focus isn’t on the end result but the process. The state record kind of crept up on us.”

The team’s top individual this season, senior Henry Webb, won’t sneak up on anybody. He was the medalist in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1 minute, 37.31 seconds, runner-up in 100 freestyle with a time of 44.82 and swam the lead leg on the victorious 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams. Webb is headed to Yale.
