St. John’s Prep have appointed Tom Clark as their new varsity rugby coach. A native of the Youngstown, Ohio area, the 52-year-old will now oversee a program that won back-to-back state titles in 2010 and 2011. He has been an assistant to prep since 2012.

“Anyone who has coached alongside me can attest to my commitment to helping young people reach their full potential both in rugby and in life,” said Clark. “I believe it is extremely important to make a lasting and meaningful impression on those we serve. During my time as an assistant professor at St. John’s, I have always tried to motivate and inspire students on and off the field. It is my deepest desire to help athletes become the best versions of themselves.”
