Cross Country
Jesuit cross country has been among the top programs in the state for 
decades, capturing four State Championships - 1998, 2000, 2004, and 2005 (only soccer with seven titles and baseball with six have more State crowns among Jesuit athletic programs) - and a bevy of District and Region titles. After consecutive years of runner-up results at District, in 2022 the Tigers once again claimed the title with five runners in the Top 18: Cal Bonifant '23 (17:22), Max Purvis '26 (17:25), Andrew Fredericks '23 (17:42), Johnny LeBron '24 (17:43), and Evan Dewey '23 (17:53). They followed that up with a 4th place result at the Region Meet led by LeBron (17:13) and Purvis (17:47), and finished 8th at the Class 2A State Meet. Head coach Mike Phillips enters his second season in the fall of 2023, and the top returnees include Purvis, LeBron, Gabe Brazzeal '24, and Lucas Rupp '26.
