WEST POINT, N.Y. -- After serving the men's and women's rugby programs for more than 25 years, Army West Point Men's Rugby Head Coach Mike Mahan has announced his retirement. "We are very appreciative of Mike's time and dedication, not only as a coach, but a mentor and leader for our cadet-athletes," said Army West Point Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Boo Corrigan. "He has aided the Academy's rugby programs for a quarter of a century and has set a high standard of success for the program, and for that we thank him. We wish him and his wife, Dorothy, the very best in the future."
Mahan rejoined the program in the summer of 2014, overseeing the team's transition from a club sport to the Army Athletic Association. "I have coached rugby at West Point at some level for either the men's team or the women's team for 27 years, 17 of those years as a head coach," said Mahan. "Doing so has allowed me to work closely with some of the very best young men and women this nation has produced. I will always cherish that opportunity to have contributed, in a small way, to their development as Army officers and as people." Read More
