Started in 1958, the Salesianum cross country team was an Independent League Champion in 1960, 1961, 1963, and 1964, and has won the state championship all but ten years since 1969. The team hosts the annual Fr. Beattie Salesianum Cross Country Invitational at Brandywine Creek State Park, where more than 100 high schools compete to “conquer the creek.”

Salesianum School educates and develops the whole person based on the teaching of Saint Francis de Sales, whose spirituality can be summarized in “Live Jesus.” As an independent Catholic secondary school founded by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales in 1903, Salesianum challenges young men through dynamic college preparatory and extracurricular programs to live as Salesian Gentlemen devoted to faith, community, and service.
