From 1997 through 2000, St. Malachy's won four straight high school boys' distance medleys one of only two schools to accomplish that feat. The 1999 team, which ran 9:59.84, broke a 16-year-old record held jointly by Willingboro (NJ) and Bernards (NJ) as well as the fabled 10-minute barrier. Although South Lakes (VA)—with Alan Webb on anchor—would surpass St. Malachy's best in 2001, the 1999 time by the boys from Ireland remains the Carnival's third-fastest high school distance medley 20 years later.
