Athletics as a Conduit for Mission and Leadership
At Regis Jesuit, athletics have an undeniably central role in the formation our students. For our families and for the community, our Raiders provide a spirited rallying cry and example of our commitment to care for the individual—cura personalis—a hallmark of Jesuit education.
With 29 programs and 73 teams across all levels of competitiveness, about two-thirds of Regis Jesuit students are involved in at least one sport. The impact of investing in athletics offers an incredible opportunity for widespread influence. As we improve our facilities, engage even more students and become even more intentional about expressing our mission across our athletics programs, Regis Jesuit will stand out as much for the character of our people as we are for our wins and losses.
In other words, when we measure athletic success in terms of the growth of our athletes toward becoming Men and Women with and for Others, everyone will win.

FINDING GOD ON THE FIELD
Read MoreRegis Jesuit’s Athletics Director Ryan West has been involved with athletics his whole life but only recognized God in that experience when tragedy struck. It was the spring of 1999 and West was driving through rural Illinois in his second season of umpiring minor-league baseball when he learned about the school shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton.West had taught and coached at Columbine before taking a break to pursue his dream of being a professional umpire. When he returned to the school to resume coaching the fall following the tragedy, he joined a prayer group one of the parents had started. West and other coaches met on Thursday mornings to study Scripture and talk about faith-based life scenarios. “Sometimes we would just pray for each other. You just felt a peace come over you. That was the first real transformational thing that happened to me in terms of seeing God and Christ in everything. I have continued to grow through that process.”

LAPS FOR THE ‘MAGIS’ – THE BETTER ‘MORE’
Read MoreCompetitive swimming is a difficult sport. The girls on the Regis Jesuit Swim & Dive Team go back and forth for hours doing laps in the pool as they practice specific technical skills—like the position of the arm as it makes a stroke and enters the water—as well as develop endurance. In competition, a few hundredths of a second can mean the difference between achieving your goals and being disappointed.“At the start of the year, I did a 58-second in the 100 free; now I’m down to a 54,” Kennedy Ranson ’27 said. “Those four seconds took me two months.” The sophomore swimmer excels at soccer but was determined to qualify for the State Meet in only her second full year of competitive swimming. She acknowledges how hard she has had to work to improve her times.Swimming is a no-cut sport at Regis Jesuit, so the team includes girls who are just beginning to swim competitively and girls who swim year-round. The top-level swimmers practice eight times a week with two early morning practices on top of practice every afternoon and Saturday morning. “I don’t know any other sport that practices that much,” Coach Kristin Repaci said, “Those girls have a serious commitment.”

ALL ON THE BUS FOR GOD’S GREATER GLORY
Read MoreThis is Jordan Kasemodel’s fourth year as head coach for Regis Jesuit Girls Basketball, but only the second year that she thought the team had the culture and maturity to make a retreat like those she had experienced during her own college basketball career. Last year, the first retreat she planned focused on having the girls learn more about each other. She thinks the outcomes of that experience sparked the team’s success in its run to second place in the 2024 State Championship Tournament.Many of the girls from the 2023-24 team are back this season, meaning this year’s retreat could go deeper. “They know each other, their struggles and families. What we needed to do was have fun and talk about what the season could bring,” Kasemodel said.
