Alumnus Celebrates 3rd Super Bowl Win

The Kansas City Chiefs celebrated an unprecedented third Super Bowl win in five years. And for a third time, the Lombardi Trophy was presented to Chiefs Chairman & CEO Clark Hunt ’83, a St. Mark’s Distinguished Alumnus. The victory marks the first time in over 20 years that an NFL team has won back-to-back Super Bowls.

 

“That was one of the best football games I've ever seen,” Hunt said immediately following the game. “I expect to be back next year, going for the ‘threepeat.’” 

 

The victory was especially poignant for the Hunt family, as it was the first football season since the passing of family matriarch Norma Hunt. Norma’s late husband and St. Mark’s Life Trustee Lamar Hunt was a pioneer of the NFL and founder of the Kansas City Chiefs. Norma attended every single Super Bowl since 1967 and stood with her family on the victory stage after the Super Bowls in 2019 and 2022. The family’s love of the game is also memorialized in St. Mark’s Norma & Lamar Hunt Family Stadium. 

 

In January, the Chiefs defended their AFC title, and Clark once again received the Lamar Hunt Trophy on the team's behalf. 

 

“Watching today's game, I couldn't help but think about my parents and how proud they would be of this football team,” Clark said at the Lombardi Trophy presentation.  

 

Clark was joined on stage by members of his family, including his brother Dan Hunt ’96, Chiefs co-owner and St. Mark’s Trustee. In recent months, Dan has been instrumental in planning one of the world’s most-watched sports events: the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As FC Dallas president and Dallas World Cup Host Bid chairman, Dan has worked tirelessly to make the city one of the epicenters of the global soccer championship.  FIFA recently announced that Dallas and AT&T Stadium will host nine matches – the most of any venue – during the tournament, including one of the two semifinal games.

 

Over the decades, the Hunt family has maintained strong ties to St. Mark’s. In the same years that the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, Clark served as President of St. Mark’s Board of Trustees (2019–2021), received the 2022 Distinguished Alumnus Award and delivered the Commencement address to the Class of 2022.
