On Tuesday, December 2, Jesuit celebrated Senior Night as the Rangers took on several private schools at the Annual Jesuit Private School Invitational. Their opponents included TCA, Cistercian, Greenhill, Parish, and ESD. Against all of them, the Rangers would triumph by a wide margin, sweeping the competition and making history with a record-breaking 28-0 win streak since the 2023-24 season. As the Rangers proceeded to set this record, they celebrated eight seniors as part of the Class of 2026, all of whom members of the swimming and diving team since freshman year. This was not a night to forget, as it was not only historic, but also marked one of the seniors’ last regular season meets that they would ever have with Jesuit.
Highlights
1-Meter Diving
Despite being the only private school in the area with male divers, the divers made sure to put on a show, all four athletes finishing with scores above 100. Koby Broad ’28 took gold with a score of 169.05 and Kobus Brewton ’28 took silver with a 135.35. Finishing right behind Brewton was senior Wills Blosser ’26, scoring 128.40 points.
