Andrew Wright's Journey to National Glory

Lutheran High School senior Andrew Wright is no stranger to the national stage — but this spring, he's running on an entirely new level.

At this year's Nike Indoor Nationals in New York City, Andrew and his Texas Titans relay team didn't just compete — they made history. The 4x200m relay team broke the National Championship meet record and brought home a gold medal in one of the most competitive high school track events in the country. As if that weren't enough, Andrew and his teammates also earned a bronze medal in the 4x400m relay, capping off an extraordinary indoor season.

These accomplishments are a testament to the culture around Andrew and his teammates. All Nike-sponsored athletes, the Texas Titans are led by Nike's Sprint Coach of the Year, Kevin Schexnayder — known to his athletes simply as Coach K — whose dedication to developing elite sprinters has helped place his team among the best in the nation.

For Andrew, the gold medal and record at Nationals mark his third National Championship of his high school career, and the bronze adds to a growing list of elite finishes. He has now earned eight All-American titles — a distinction awarded to athletes who finish in the top six in the United States at a national championship track meet. Eight. It is the result of years of early mornings, relentless work, and a commitment to excellence that reflects the best of what LHS strives to cultivate in all of our students.

And the season is just getting started.

This spring, Andrew will be traveling to Miami, Los Angeles, and Baltimore to train alongside members of the United States Olympic team and coaching staff, as well as compete in professional track meets. Just this past weekend, he stepped onto the track at the 2026 Miramar Invitational in South Florida — one of the premier stops on the World Athletics Continental Tour — where he raced against three Olympic medalists. That's not a high school meet. That's the professional circuit, and Andrew Wright belongs there.

The road ahead this summer leads toward something even bigger. In June, Andrew will be competing for a spot on the U-20 United States Track Team, with the goal of representing his country at the U-20 World Championships. For a young man from a small Christian school on San Antonio's northwest side, the scope of what he is pursuing is remarkable.

But those of us who know Andrew know that his story has always been about more than times and medals. He is part of a school community that believes God places gifts in people for a purpose, and that those gifts are meant to be used boldly to make an impact in his community to the glory of Jesus Christ. Watching Andrew run — watching him compete on the same track as Olympians, watching him carry the name of his school and his city into national and international arenas — is a reminder of what it looks like when a student truly leads a life of impact.

We are proud of you, Andrew. Go make history.
