Anyway, his recent surge sent me scrounging through my records to find the longest Maryland streaks in recent memory.
And here’s what I came up with since the start of the 1998 season (*-active):
15: Nick Novak (2002-03)
13: Dan Ennis (2006)
11: Dan Ennis (2005)
10: Brian Kopka (1998)
8: Brian Kopka (1999)
8: Nick Novak (2002)
8: Obi Egekeze (2007)
7: Nick Novak (2001)
6: Nick Novak (2004)
5: Nick Novak (2002)
5: Nick Novak (2003)
5: Obi Egekeze (2008)*
