Cross Country

Jesuit cross country has been among the top programs in the state for decades, and is one of the most decorated. The Tigers have captured four State Championships - 1998, 2000, 2004, and 2005 (only soccer with seven titles and baseball with five have more State crowns among Jesuit athletic programs) - and a bevy of District and Region titles. The Tigers were consistently strong during the Fall 2020 season, winning at the Mitchell Invitational, placing 2nd at the Horse Park Invitational, and 3rd at the Tampa Private School Championship. Jesuit capped the season with a strong playoff run, placing 2nd in the District, 2nd in the Region, and 6th at State. Adam Dieck '21 and Kevin Beck-Perez '21 led the way for the Tigers during the State Series, with Dieck finishing 17th at State (16:14.6) and Beck-Perez snagging 19th (16:17.7) out of 127 participants. Lawson McLeod '22, Isaac Addison '22,  Andrew Fredericks '23, and Devin Stevens '23 are among the top returnees for the Fall 2021 season. Jim Ranieri enters his seventh season as head coach in 2021.
