Athletics

St. Xavier has the largest enrollment of boys among Kentucky high schools,[5][a] and had been the only school in Kentucky to have won a state championship in every Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA)-sanctioned sport open to boys before the KHSAA began sponsoring coeducational championships in bass fishing and archery in the early 21st century. St. Xavier is one of the most successful athletic programs in Kentucky, having won 172 boys' state championships across 13 different KHSAA sports.[6] In 2005, St. Xavier was ranked #14 in "Sports Illustrated" Best High School Athletic Programs.[7] In the 2009 fall semester, Saint X won all four fall sports.[8][9] This is an unprecedented feat, taking home championships in soccer, football, cross country and golf.[10]

The annual football game with traditional local rival Trinity High School at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium is promoted by the schools as the most-attended annual regular-season high school football game in the country, typically drawing over 35,000 fans.[11] The largest crowd was 38,500 and the 2007 edition of the game had an announced attendance of 37,550.[12] Both teams have also met in the KHSAA Commonwealth Gridiron Bowl.[13][14] As of 2018, St. Xavier has 12 state championships, with the last one being in 2009.[15] In 2018, St. X announced that Kevin Wallace would be named new football head coach after Will Wolford announced that he would resign.[16][17] The swim team has won thirty-one consecutive state swimming championships, a national record for consecutive state championships out of any sport. They have beat the record from a high school in the Hawaiian Islands .[18] In addition to this, the swim team has captured 55 swimming state titles overall, which is a national record.[19] The golf team has won the McDonald's Tournament of Champions national event multiple times and sent numerous golfers on to NCAA Division I colleges such as Kentucky, Louisville, Alabama, Wake Forest, Clemson, Cornell, Tennessee, Florida, Florida State, Oklahoma State, Ohio State and Purdue. In 2016, St. X made a 3-peat by winning its 21st title and joined Louisville Male High School to win more than 2 more titles.[20]

As of 2018, the cross country team has won 6 of the last 7 State Championships,[21] and was nationally ranked in the top 15 in 2012–13. In 2012, the team which consisted of 6 future NCAA DI athletes, qualified for and competed in Nike Cross Nationals, the only consensus national championship competition in all of American High School athletics. The Tigers placed 14th. In 2016, the cross country team was ranked 13th at the nationals.[22] In addition, it won several titles along with Floyd Central at a Tiger Run meeting.[23] The soccer team has won eight state championships since 2000,[24] earning top 10 rankings in national polls while doing so.

The Tigers' football home of Brother Thomas More Page Stadium[25] also hosts the Bellarmine Knights sprint football team, representing nearby Bellarmine University. The university began play in sprint football, a form of American football played under standard college rules but with player weights restricted to 178 pounds (81 kg), in the 2022 season.[26]

Project X

Saint Xavier has done renovations with Project X. Project X first did renovations with a $3 million classroom.[27] Project X also resulted in a new tennis facility, complete with concessions and seating for 300 spectators, a new baseball stadium and a new 6,100 seat football stadium, complete with two private suites, an 8-lane rubberized track, new space for offices and locker rooms. The Tigers opened the new baseball complex on March 26, 2007, with a 10–0 win over Meade County, opened the football stadium on August 24, 2007,[28] with an 18–14 victory over Ballard and opened the 2,000 seat basketball arena with a 73–53 win over South Oldham on January 20, 2009.[29]

With the conclusion of Project X, St. Xavier now boasts some of the best high school athletic facilities in the nation including an indoor golf facility on campus.[30]
