Andrew Slania '98
Andrew Slania '98 is one of the most decorated baseball players in Strake Jesuit history. A three time First Team All State selection, Andrew left the program as the career leader in batting and in the top 5 in several other categories. As a senior, he was named to both the preseason and postseason All Greater Houston Teams. He went on to play college baseball at St. Louis University and is the proud parent of a current Crusader student. -
Stephen Tyree '06
Stephen Tyree '06 was a three sport athlete at Strake Jesuit, participating and excelling in Basketball, Football, and Track and Field. As part of the early UIL days, Tyree was among the first All-District athletes in the school's history. A rarity in today's high school landscape, Stephen played on both sides of the football as a wide receiver on offense and defensive back on defense. He went on to play collegiately at Bucknell University. -
2010 Soccer Team
The 2010 Soccer Team finished the regular season with a record of 27-1-1 as a participant in the 5A division of the UIL. This season was capped off by a trip to the state championship game and a national ranking of #4 by ESPN. Several players went on the play collegiately, including Patrick Wall, who won a National Championship at Notre Dame. Other notable players were Robbe Tarver, Michael Davidson, Jamie Garcia-Prats, and Robert Greenberg. -
1972 Cross Country Team
The 1972 Cross Country Team was the first Strake Jesuit Cross Country Team to win a state championship. Additionally, six of the seven runners from the team were named All-State. This team established Strake Jesuit as a force in the sport by winning the first of 23 consecutive state championships.
