One of the most incredible accomplishments in IHSA history for dual match winning streaks came via the Monarch wrestling program. From 1964 through 1968 the Mendel Monarchs went 99 straight matches without a defeat!! This is verified by a Chicago Sun-Times Newpaper article declaring the streak had ended on January 19, 1969 when Brother Rice defeated Mendel 22 - 20. The streak included four Catholic League Championships in 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1968.
