Gonzaga Sports

On Monday, over 100 Gonzaga coaches from our 18 varsity sports gathered in the Carmody Center. Assistant Headmaster for Student Life Jim Kilroy and Director of Athletics Terry Kernan ’08 brought the group together for food, fellowship, and gratitude for a wonderful year inside and outside of competition. Additionally, the event was an opportunity to share insight, perspective, and tools to continue to infuse the Jesuit mission into all of our teams.

President Father Joe Lingan, SJ ’75 and Headmaster Tom Every each gave thanks and encouragement to the group, while Director of Mission and Ignatian Identity Brendan Hartnett ’97 offered direction and guidance on how to best support our athletes in their spiritual growth. “Coaching at Gonzaga is unique and a privilege,” said Kilroy. “To have an opportunity to discuss how we serve our student-athletes by lifting up our Jesuit mission through sports was incredible. Our coaches truly serve as real mentors to the young men of Eye Street.”

Years ago, Mr. Walker was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor that resulted in part of his leg being amputated. After beating cancer, he lost 120 pounds and became a Strength and Conditioning coach in the DC area. Here are some nice photos from his visit to Eye Street.

Congratulations to Jalen McMurray ‘21 on officially signing with the Tennessee !

Jalen graduated from the University of Tennessee this past December with a degree in Sports Management and a minor in Business. During his time in Knoxville, he played football for two seasons and served as a team captain. Immediately following the NFL Draft, Jalen secured a spot on the Titans’ roster as a free agent.

He is represented by fellow Gonzaga alum J.I. Halsell (‘95), who shared this sentiment on the signing: “The Jesuit motto of being ‘Men for Others’ is somewhat cliche, but as I think about my role as Jalen’s agent and the genuine emotion that I saw from him and his family this past weekend, it reminds me of why I now sit on this side of the cap & contract world: to help young men and their families realize childhood dreams. And what better young man and family than a fellow Gonzaga Eagle. The journey continues…”

Congratulations, Jalen! We can’t wait to watch you at the next level.
