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 six 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 2018 season, placing 2nd at the Mitchell Invitational, 3rd at the West Hillsborough Invitational, 1st at the Dunedin Invitational, and 6th at the County Championships. Jesuit capped the season with a strong playoff run, placing 2nd at District, 4th at Region, and 12th at State. Underclassmen led the way, with Lawson McLeod '22, Adam Dieck 21, Parker Maddox '20, and Wolf Louk '21 consistently leading the pack. McLeod was Jesuit's top finisher at District-Region-State, finishing in 16:46 at State, followed by Dieck (17:05), Maddox (17:24), Louk (17:46), and Charles Brazzeal '21 (18:01). Jim Ranieri enters his fifth season as head coach in 2019.
