One of the teams I help coach, the St. Christopher's School wrestling team, won its seventh consecutive Prep League championship this Saturday. This is pretty cool on a couple of fronts. As I told my 8th grade Latin students, the last time the Saints didn't win the league, they were in 1st grade. Some of those 8th graders will have a chance to help the drive for eight in a row next year; 6th graders who end up wrestling may have a chance to be the first class to go all the way through their K - 12 career having each year be a Saints Prep League wrestling title year.
It's also neat to think back to guys like Jeb Pinkerton, Brian McGurk, Ryan Robertson, Kirk Adamson, Hunter Carpenter, Ian McDonald, Brian Herrod, Hunter McDonald and so many others who were in on the ground floor. Pete Shaifer, now at St. Paul's School in Baltimore, was the architect for the whole thing. An excellent mentor, he was foundational in my development as a coach. In only his third season with the team, he was able to build the framework for years of success to come. Congrats to the boys, Pete, and everybody involved with the streak.
