wiped out by the pandemic.
In cross country, Nathan had a memorable run last September when he

the first time in school history that a St. Xavier runner had run a 5K
under 15 minutes and it helped the Bombers capture the Trinity/Valkyrie

state for the year.
His junior year in cross country, Nathan was GCL South district and
