Coaching Accomplishments Cross Country:
Took over a team in 2002 who was 1-14 in 2001, and led them to an 8-7 season, going 1-4 in the Inter-Ac. Shocked the Inter-Ac in 2002 when Malvern placed 3rd at the XC Champs. After he started the program in the right direction, he kept going, leading Malvern to a perfect 10-0 season in 2003 (first time in Malvern history), including 5-0 in the Inter-Ac, and an Inter-Ac Championship in just his 2nd year of coaching, which believe it or not, was probably looked at as an upset. This was the first Malvern Championship since 1995. In 2004, his Cross Country team went undefeated for the second consecutive year (10-0). They won the McAlpin Invite, placed 6th/53 at Steel City, and 2nd in the Briarwood D2 Race. Won Inter-Acs with a dominating 26 points, 43 ahead of 2nd place EA. Won his first JV Inter-Ac Championship in 2004 as well.

Outdoor Track
Mike also became Head Track Coach in 2003. The team placed 5th that year at champs, but the following year in 2004 Malvern Prep pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Inter-Ac history. Without a championship in 37 years and with Episcopal being the Inter-Ac favorite, Mike and his team beat out Episcopal by 2 points, 62-60 to take home the trophy and sweep the year for XC and Track.

Indoor Track
Mike became Head Coach of Indoor Track in 2003-4, as well.
