Just before Thanksgiving break, on November 21st-22nd, Jesuit Dallas Swimming and Diving competed at the 2025 North Zone TISCA Invitational. The Rangers won the meet, scoring 398 points. This marks the first time the Rangers have won the meet in twenty years.
Divers Show Out
Jesuit’s divers got the competition started on Thursday, November 20th. Koby Broad ’28 and Kobus Brewton ’28 placed 8th and 9th, respectively. Broad scored a new Personal Record 261.85 points. His best dive was a 401c Inward Dive Tuck, which received 16.5 points. Brewton’s best dive was tie between 103b (forward 1.5 Somersault Pike) and 401b (Inward dive pike), each receiving a total of 14.5 points.
“TISCA is a qualifying meet and we had two of our divers make the cut. It was a very competitive meet and both had improvements to their dives that stood out.”

Early Flashes of Greatness
Jesuit gained some positive signs early in the finals session. The 200 Medley Relay featuring Michael Tobin ’27, Grant Wilton ’27, Drew Shippey ’27, and Porter Pope ’28 took sixth with a time of 1:41.48. In the 200 Freestyle, Sebastian Suwanda ’26 (1:48.17) and JP McCosker ’27 (1:49.78) took 13th and 14th, respectively.
Massive Points
The meet then shifted to sprint events following the 200IM. Two of Jesuit’s captains scored massively in the 50 free. Sam Kennington ’26 (21.48) claimed third while Luke Lary ’26 (21.60) took fourth. Lary then proceeded to take second in the 100 fly despite the quick turnaround. Drew Shippey followed Lary with a seventh-place finish. In the 100 free, Jonah Ruhl ’27 took second with a time of 45.21, just barely losing to Lewisville Marcus’ Hudson Roybal. Sam Kennington, meanwhile, finished eleventh with a time of 48.40.
The next two events contributed greatly to Jesuit’s win in the meet. Sebastian Suwanda placed sixth in the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:53.59. The Rangers had a whopping three B-final swimmers. Grant Wilton won the B-final with a time of 4:54.35. JP McCosker came third in the heat with a time of 4:58.88. Noah Ruhl ’28, who dropped ten seconds in the preliminaries to sneak into the B-final, placed sixteenth overall with a time of 5:06.23.
The Rangers dominated the 200 free relay, being only one of two schools to get two relays into the finals. The “A” relay featuring Ruhl, Kennington, Lary, and Suwanda won the event in 1:25.65, besting Fort Worth Paschal High School by almost two seconds. The “B” squad of Porter Pope, Michael Tobin, Michael Sanmiguel ’27, and Peter Hasik ’27 placed 13th with a combined time of 1:33.51. In addition, Ruhl’s 20.88 leadoff split was .02 off the school record, 20.86 set by Jack Ayres in 2017.
Closing It Out
The Rangers began to seal the deal with the following events. Jonah Ruhl won the 100 back in a time of 51.23. Drew Shippey followed him with a 56.10, placing 13th. The 100 breaststroke, arguably one of Jesuit’s weakest events, saw two Rangers get into scoring position.
The final event of the meet saw the Rangers face one of the biggest upsets in recent memories. Jesuit walked into both the meet and finals as the favorable one seed but ran into a Lewisville Marcus team looking to make a statement. Luke Lary led off for the Rangers, slated against Marcus’ Landon Heuer. They were dead even at the end of their leadoff legs. Lary gave way to Sam Kennington, and Heuer gave way to Will Currey. Currey, who’s best time is listed as a 49.47, swam an out-of-mind 46.68. That put the Marauders way ahead. Kennington gave way to Sebastian Suwanda, but he was unable to make up any ground on Jan Warcholinski. Suwanda gave way to Jonah Ruhl, but by then it was too little too late. Hudson Roybal anchored a 44.77 to bring home the win for Marcus. Ruhl split a 45.36, but the Rangers had to settle for second place.
Looking Ahead
Jesuit has just two regular season meets left. The Rangers will celebrate the Class of 2026 against Greenhill on December 2nd. After winter training, the Rangers host the first ever Jesuit Invitational, which will feature Strake Jesuit, St. Agnes, St. Stephen’s Episcopal School, and Plano Senior.
