2024 MOC Streakers

Streakers! Longest Active Streaks Qualifying for Meet of Champs

It’s great if you were on a team competing to win a division championship this past Saturday. For other teams, the goal was to qualify for the elite Meet of Champions to be held this coming Saturday at Alvirne High.  This is the big dance for the vast majority of schools in NH.  It is like icing on the cake for individuals as well.  Unique to only a few sports, the idea of being able to truly crown the best in NH is incredibly enticing! The top 5 teams from each division and then 3 at-large teams qualify for the MOC. 18 teams only.

Some teams seem to make it to the Meet of Champions every year – but it’s hard to be consistently that good, year in, year out. Of the 144 teams in the state (boys and girls squads from 19 schools in D-1, 21 in D-2, and 32 in D-3, boys and girls), only 10 programs have current streaks of at least 5 years in a row.

So, the Oyster River boys now own the longest current active streak. They’ve qualified for the Meet of Champions 25 years in a row, every year since 2000! The longest current girls streak is now held by Bishop Guertin, who has made it 18 years in a row beginning in 2007.

The all-time streak record is held by the Manchester Central girls. They made it 32 years in a row from 1983-2014. The Central streak came to an end in 2015.

Here’s the list of active streaks of 5 years or longer. If we have missed a team, comment below.
