Breck/Blake competed Friday at the Class 1A boys swimming state meet looking to set a record.
Breck/Blake, a seven-time champion co-op of two Twin Cities private schools, won a state-record eighth straight championship with a dominant qualifying performance at the Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center. It would be hard to miss.
Rochester won seven straight championships from 1953 to 1959, when there was only one class.
The Class 1A finals begin Saturday at noon, followed by Class 2A at 6 p.m.
Junior Henry Webb (1:36.94) and senior Josiah March (1:41.56) posted the fastest times in the 200-yard freestyle. Webb's time broke former teammate Charlie Egeland's Class 1A record of 1:38.00, set in 2022. March also placed second in the 500-meter freestyle.
Senior Andrew Colgan posted the fastest time in the 200-meter individual medley at 1:51.25 and swam the 100-meter breaststroke by more than three seconds at 53.77.
Breck/Blake had the fastest time in all three relays.
Hutchinson senior Connor Hogan is the top seed in the 50 and 100 freestyle events with times of 20.26 and 44.61 seconds. The Wisconsin freshman beat Webb in the 100 meters by more than a second.
