Mike Glynn, one of the state’s most successful track and field and cross-country coaches, will be inducted into the New York Armory Coaches Hall of Fame later this month, the New York Armory announced.
Glynn, along with the coaches listed below, will be inducted into the Armory Coaches Hall of Fame during the AT&T Hall of Fame Invitational on December 19.
Glynn, who began his coaching career at Paramus Catholic (1966-79), where he built a powerhouse in boys cross country and track and field, retired from coaching at Ridgewood last spring after leading the Maroons program from 1985-2000 and from 2003-2014.
During his time at Ridgewood, Glynn’s teams have won six Bergen Group titles and five NNJIL titles. His Ridgewood squads have won 12 straight Group 4 sectional titles since 2012.
Glynn, a retired guidance counselor, produced five indoor state individual champions and 22 outdoor individual group champions. His track and field teams earned five Bergen County team titles, shared a sixth, and won 33 Bergen Group Championships.
I ran at PC under coach Glynn, he truly is one of the greats. Congratulations Coach Glynn!
