Congratulations to the Boys and Girls Varsity Wrestling Teams on their strong performances at recent tournaments in late January. The boys team took fifth place at the Continental League Championships on January 25 held at Legend High School, led by Richard Avila '26 who was the runner-up in the 113-pound weight class. On the same day, the girls team competed in the Warhorse Invitational at Chatfield High School claiming 13th place out of more than 35 teams competing at the event. A shoutout to champion Remington Zimmerer '27 who won her division! The teams also celebrated seven additional top-six finishes. We are proud of you, Raiders!

In late January, a delegation of seven students and two adult faculty members traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in the 52nd annual March for Life Rally on Capitol Hill. The group enjoyed visiting several of the national monuments and museums in the nation's capital as well as gathering with hundreds of other high school and college students from across the country for the annual Ignatian Family Mass for Life. Following Mass, the RJ delegation took part in the rally, joining tens of thousands of marchers in support of pro-life issues and celebrating and dignifying human life from conception to natural death. 

On Saturday, January 25, three teams represented Regis Jesuit at this year's annual Colorado High School Ethics Bowl held at the University of Colorado Boulder. Sponsored by CU Boulder's Center for Values and Social Policy, the Ethics Bowl is a team-based competition where students apply critical thinking while discussing real-life ethical issues. Competing head-to-head in rounds of competition, teams take turns analyzing cases about complex ethical issues and respond to questions and comments from the other team as well as a panel of judges. A huge note of congratulations to the team of Owen Casey '25, Isabella Daniels '25, Asher Eliason '25, Brooke Metcalfe '25 and Ebba Svard '25 who finished in second place after the preliminary rounds and narrowly lost their semifinal match. 

We are excited to announce that Ryan West has been hired as Regis Jesuit’s next Athletic Director. West has been serving in this role in an interim capacity since the beginning of this school year. He was unanimously selected following a competitive hiring process conducted at the end of last semester. 

The IHS window measures nearly 15'x15' and now sits above the entrance to the SIC, clearly signaling to our community and visitors our identity as a Catholic Jesuit school. We anticipate the arrival of the 8'x8' Madonna della Strada, which translates to Our Lady of the Way, window later this semester. It will be installed at the back of the chapel and visible from the adjoining staircase as well.

This 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. 

Congratulations to the Boys Varsity Wrestling Team on their impressive finishes at two recent tournaments. On December 20-21, the team competed in the 25th annual Northern Colorado Christmas Tournament (NCCT) in Greeley placing 47th out of 90 teams. A huge shoutout to Richard Avila '25 who earned a seventh-place finish in the 113-lbs weight class. The team then placed fourth at the Smoky Hill Invitational on January 4 with three Raiders earning championships and another two finishing second in their respective weight classes. Way to go, Raiders!
