Boys Track & Field

2026 Season Review

It was another special season for the Roncalli boys track program, and the guys earned every bit of the success that came their way. Winning the conference championship was a direct result of their hard work and willingness to compete every day.

Five Royals earned All-Conference, including seniors Alex Beard, Jake Irwin, Anthony Litz and Dom Nelson and junior Will Lewis. Beard, Litz and fellow senior Andrew Woodruff were also recognized as Academic All-State, showing the same commitment in the classroom that they brought to the track.

Nelson won a sectional championship in the shot put, while Litz and Lewis were selected as Indiana All-Stars. The Royals also saw several school records fall this season, with Litz setting a new mark in the 300-meter hurdles (38.87), Beard breaking the 100-meter record (10.71) and the 4×200 relay team of Beard, Litz, senior Owen Lewis and senior Cole Huff setting a new school record of 1:30.18.

At the state level, Nelson qualified in the shot put, Beard qualified in the 200 meters and the 4×400 relay team of Beard, Huff, senior Alex Toth and O. Lewis earned a trip to the state finals. Head coach Frank Litz said, “I’m proud of what this group accomplished and the standard they set for our program.”
