Mike Glavin, a 1978 graduate of SJU, enters his 24th year as the Hawks head men's cross country and track coach. After leading the Hawks to their fourth Atlantic 10 Championship title in cross country in 2009, he was named the Atlantic 10 Men's Cross Country Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his career (1992, 1998, 2000, 2009). Under his watchful eye, the Hawks have produced a total of 46 All-Conference harriers and five NCAA qualifiers. During his tenure, Saint Joseph's has also seen five athletes earn Runner of the Year honors and four earn Rookie of the Year awards and 11 student athletes become Academic All-Conference performers.

Throughout Glavin's track career, the Hawks have twice received the Runner-Up Award in the Atlantic 10 (2001, 2002), as he has coached 25 NCAA Regional Qualifiers and six IC4A Champions. To add to his resume, he has coached a total of 138 All-Conference members and 34 Academic All-Conference honorees. During his career, five student-athletes have been named A-10 Performer of the Year, three earned Rookie of the Year recognition and one was the A-10 Student-Athlete of the Year.

Glavin returned to his alma mater after a highly successful 10-year stint as track and cross country coach at Paul VI High School in Haddonfield, N.J. During his tenure there, he led the cross country team to a phenomenal 110-0 record, including three state championships in 1984, 1985 and 1988. His track record was an equally impressive 60-18, which included four South Jersey championships and the 1989 State crown. Glavin was inducted into the Paul VI Alumni Hall of Fame in October, 2009.

A stellar performer for the Hawks as an undergrad, Glavin established numerous records, including the outdoor track record for the three-mile, the 5,000-meter runs, and the indoor record for the mile and two-mile. He also held the Belmont Plateau cross country record with a time of 25:36. Glavin qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championships in both his junior and senior years.

Glavin holds a master's degree in mathematics from Villanova University and is currently teaching at Haddonfield High School in New Jersey. Glavin resides in Ardmore, Pa. with his wife, Julie, and sons, Graeme and Michael.
