MEANS...

EXCELLENCE IN THE CLASSROOM

Distance runners tend to place high value on both academic environment and performance, and Saint John’s is a good match for both. Our faculty and curriculum are outstanding. Our woods and lakes add to an atmosphere that is suited to study. Through the fall of 2022, our cross country team’s cumulative GPA was 3.72, the fifth best average team GPA in all of Division III for the fall of 2022. On top of that, we had four Academic All-Americans. Meanwhile, motivated team members provide great support on the trails, pushing each other to be the best they can be.

A TRUE TEAM

Our team is more than a collection of individuals who find themselves at the same starting line. We train together, of course, and our residential campus finds us eating, studying, playing, and living together. Much more than teammates, Saint John’s runners are great friends, and those friendships have proven to last a lifetime.

YEAR ROUND TRAINING

From All-Americans to our last man in, we run year-round. We appreciate that everybody is different – capable of training with more or less volume, more or less intensity, more or less racing. We depend a great deal on each individual’s ability to progressively know himself better and make decisions for himself.

THE BIG PICTURE

We share a Big Picture which values team-orientation, year-round training, and six month training cycles which point toward our finest racing during the cross country and outdoor track and field championship seasons. Ours is not a sport for those seeking instant gratification. Rather, we value a patience which allows us to finish races, seasons, and careers at our very best.

JOHNNIE CROSS

Welcome (and thanks for the welcome)!

My name is Brian Bruess and, as of July 1, I am president of both College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University – the first time both of those titles have been held concurrently. In the short time that my wife Carol and I have been here, we have both certainly felt the engaging welcome of this community. The Benedictine hospitality lives up to its billing. Thank you to those who have reached out with greetings and well wishes.

That sense of community was certainly one of the most powerful forces drawing Carol and me to this opportunity, but not the only one.

There’s the tradition of academic rigor that Saint Ben’s and Saint John’s have upheld for well over a century. The education our students receive can change lives, impact families and change the direction of whole communities. That’s an exciting thing to be part of, and I look forward to building on those outcomes in the coming years.

There’s the strength and impact of the legendary alum networks that stretch from these campuses, around the world. Saint Ben’s and Saint John’s grads have always been present for each other, for today’s students and for these institutions, generously serving as mentors, resources and benefactors. I look forward to meeting and connecting with as many of you as possible and learning the heart of that connection.

And, of course, we were drawn here by these students. The unique structure of this integrated relationship attracts and produces women who lead with passion and confidence. It attracts and produces men of character and wisdom who will bring their best to everything they do.

And in that spirit, I’m glad you’re here with us today to kick off another season in the storied tradition of Johnnie cross country. Like all of our Johnnie competitors, these are student-athletes in the finest sense of both those words. As we cheer for today’s performances on the field, let’s all commit to cheering a little louder in recognition of the performances we don’t see – in the classroom, in the lab and in service to their church or community.

GO JOHNNIES!

CROSS COUNTRY COACHES

HEAD COACH TIM MILES

Saint John’s 1976 grad Tim Miles will coach his 44th Saint John’s cross country team in 2022. He coached at Cretin High School in St. Paul from 1976 through 1979, then returned to Saint John’s in 1979 as head coach of cross country and track and field.

His cross country teams have won nine MIAC (Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) titles and qualified to compete at the national meet 22 times, recording 12 top-ten team finishes.

Miles’ Saint John’s track and field teams won five MIAC outdoor titles. He stepped away from the head track and field position in 2015 and now coaches mid-distance and distance runners on the track.

Miles was a Natural Science major as an undergraduate and received his master’s degree in Forestry at the University of Minnesota. As a Saint John’s athlete, he was All-Conference in cross country and the MIAC six mile champion and steeplechase runner-up on the track as a senior.

ASSISTANT COACH MAXWELL KUZARA

Saint John’s 2017 grad Maxwell Kuzara returned as an assistant coach in the spring of 2021 and was very well received as he brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion.

Kuzara was an assistant coach at Minnetonka High School, his alma mater, for four years before returning to Saint John’s. At Minnetonka he ran for and coached alongside distance running legends Jeff Renlund, Steve Hoag, and Jerry McNeal.

He also worked three years as a media and communications specialist for Twin Cities in Motion. TCM puts on a multitude of events including the Twin Cities Marathon.

Kuzara earned a BA in Global Business Leadership and Exercise Science and Sport Studies. He won All-Conference honors in cross country and placed 3rd and 4th in MIAC Championship 10,000 meter races.

PROUD SPONSOR AND CONTRACTOR FOR JOHNNIE ATHLETICS

2022-23 JOHNNIES

Our cross country team returns six of our top seven from a year ago and has designs on moving up a notch or two from last fall’s third-place finish at the MIAC Championship.

Especially after a summer of very good training, this team believes we can qualify to the NCAA Championship. We want a long season. We return most of our runners from our track and field teams that won both the indoor and outdoor conference championship in 2022.

We will not be able to call ourselves a “young” team, but we are not without a strong complement of talented younger runners who train well. Especially with the addition of some promising freshmen this fall, we like our future beyond 2022-2023.

A BEAUTIFUL SETTING

Saint John’s sits 75 miles northwest of the Twin Cities in Central Minnesota’s lake country. Our campus encompasses 3000 acres of woods and lakes with over ten miles of winding trails. We are surrounded by many more miles of rolling country roads, and our runs have names such as Island Lake, Big Fish, Wildcat, and Lovers’ Lane. We do a lot of passive hill training at Saint John’s as hills are pretty much unavoidable.

Our exceptional indoor and outdoor tracks stand side by side. The six lane, 200 meter indoor facility is 300 feet by 210 feet and has been recently resurfaced this past summer. The outdoor track sits below hillsides and tall trees and is well-sheltered from the wind. It was resurfaced in 2016.

RECORDS

A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE

The Johnnie cross country team has 14 conference team titles, and 25 top 20 team finishes at the national meet. The Johhnie track and field team has earned 10 outdoor conference team titles, including the 2022 season. In total, 32 individuals have earned 59 All-American honors in cross country as well as the mid-distance and distance events. In addition, four individuals have become national champions.

8,000 Meter / 5-Mile Times

5.00 miles = 8052 meters, about 9 to 10 seconds longer than 8000 meters in the 25-27 minute range: 5 mile performance x .9937 = 8000 meter performance. This includes an appropriate consideration for running the shorter race at a faster pace.

STUDENT FUND

Octavius Wilson Jr. has thrived at Saint John’s University.

Not only has the senior linebacker from Hill-Murray High School played a key role in the Johnnies’ defensive rotation, but he’s also served on the program’s leadership council and as a representative on the SJU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

This past summer, he completed an internship in the financial department at Microsoft at the company’s corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

But he said none of that would have been possible were it not for the assistance that scholarships provide.

“All of my tuition expenses rest with me, so scholarships were the main thing I had to consider when I was looking at school where I could continue my education,” said Wilson, an economics major who has received the Fran and Julia Ladner Family Endowed Scholarship, the Joyce and William Sexton Scholarship, the Joseph Friedrich Scholarship and a Dean’s Scholarship.

He’s also received Securian Foundation and Eddie Phillips Scholarships from the Minnesota Private College Council.

“Saint John’s was the top place when it came to offering the kind of scholarship package that made going here realistic and affordable for me,” he continued. “I’m really grateful for that because it helped make this opportunity possible.”

Wilson is not alone. In all, 98 percent of SJU students receive scholarships or financial aid. The SJU Student Fund helps make that happen by providing direct financial support to our students.

When you support the student fund, 100 percent of your gift goes directly toward student scholarships. Those who give receive recognition in the annual Honor Roll of Donors and a receipt stating their gift is tax deductible. They also gain the confidence of knowing their gift had a direct impact in allowing Wilson and so many others to experience all that SJU has to offer.

Please consider giving, either by visiting the student fund page in the SJU Alumni section of the CSB+SJU website or by calling 320-363-2591 or 1-800-653-7303.

STRONG INTEGRATION

The long-standing Coordinate Relationship between CSB and SJU demonstrates a history of delivering excellent outcomes through an outstanding joint academic program. Strong Integration is a natural extension and strengthening of our current relationship. It is not a merger of the two institutions; the college and university will remain two separate institutions aligned with their respective sponsoring monastic communities. Strong Integration necessitates no changes to the joint academic program, the admission of students or the separate conferring of degrees. Rather, Strong Integration will ensure that future students are educated by a thriving CSB and SJU. It will allow the college and university to continue delivering a superior liberal arts education with maximal effectiveness in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving higher education landscape.

The collaborative work of our two institutions and two founding monastic communities is a vital part of what makes the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University such beloved and special places. Our work has been guided throughout by the Benedictine Values, the institutions’ missions, and the needs of our students, and we are proud to take this historic step in our shared history.

We want to channel the best of both schools in new and exciting ways while still maintaining the individual identities of each. Strong Integration will further solidify already-deep ties while still celebrating each school as a college for women and a men’s university. With all of us working together, Bennies and Johnnies will continue writing new and limitless chapters of our shared history in the years to come.
