Salesianum Tradition

A term used by athletes and wannabe athletes from Salesianum High School in Wilmington, Delaware. It is used primarily by past and present members of the more popular male sports teams (football, basketball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse and wrestling) and their fans as an insult to athletes and fans of their arch rival St. Marks High School. It is in essence, a reference to the number of state championships that the respective schools have won (Salesianum 107, St. Marks 41) in boys sports. However the irony in the insult, is that in the six sports mentioned above St. Marks has a 37 to 22 edge.

Sallies Alum:
"St. Marks can't come close to competing with the Salesianum Tradition with our 107 state championships to your 41!"

St. Marks Alum: Are you for real? Do you really want to count your 85 championships won in track, swimming and tennis? Were not counting our 42 championships won in girls sports.
