Cross Country Head Coach Walt Lange received a prestigious honor on Saturday, December 7, as he was named the Joe Newton Coach of the Year at the Nike Cross Nationals!
Coach Lange, with an extraordinary 55 years of coaching at Jesuit High School, including 54 years as head coach, now joins the ranks of elite coaches recognized on a national stage. Known for his humility, Lange's contributions to high school cross country and the countless lives he has impacted over the decades make this recognition richly deserved.
Lange's dedication, passion, and lifelong commitment to developing athletes both on and off the course embody the Jesuit tradition of excellence and service. Congratulations to Coach Lange on this remarkable and well-deserved honor!
