Greg Janssen Tabbed Head Coach of Men's Tennis Team

RIPON, Wis. - The Ripon College athletic department announced Thursday that Greg Janssen has been selected to lead the Red Hawks men's tennis team this spring.

Janssen comes to Ripon from Bates (ME) College, where he served as an assistant coach for both the men's and women's teams. While at Bates, Janssen was named the 2012 ITA Northeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year, helping the school reach a number 15 ranking in Division-III. He also helped Bates defeat the fourth and 16th-ranked teams in the country, while coaching two All-Americans and three players ranked in the top 30 individually.

Prior to his time at Bates, Janssen served as an Assistant Tennis Professional at two different clubs in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and at the Oshkosh Recreation Department in Oshkosh, Wis.

A 2010 graduate of Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Janssen earned his B.A. in Business Administration, where he was a four-year member and a captain of the Kohawks tennis team. He was the Iowa Conference MVP in 2010.

Janssen currently resides in Oshkosh.

Congratulations to Greg. Ripon College has a proud history in Men's Tennis. Here's hoping he can restore some of the luster that legendary Coach, Chuck Larson built in the 80's & 90's!
