Coach Dennis Panepinto's 1992 Cross Country team finished first in district and second in state. They are most famous for their motto: "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch!"

The main big dogs were: Michael Wich, Richard Begin, Jeff O’Donnell, Stephen Erath, and Brandon Nicholls.

A recent (3/15/2009) Times Picayune article featured Garett Majoue ('94): "Former Brother Martin wrestler pins New Orleans bad guys." The computer software analyst not once, not twice, but three times has apprehended criminals, using his grappler skills to put the "chicken wing" on them until the cops come. "I don't call 911," says Garett in the article. "Some people say I'm a hero. Others say I'm a dummy."

As a senior captain, Majoue wrestled in the LHSAA tournament in the 160 lb bracket for Coach Mark Wisniewski ('81) and assistant Robbie Dauterive ('84). The other captains for the squad, which finished fifth in state, were Steve Glaudi, Brandon DuMontier, Trent Gray, and Eric Rucker.
