Home / Featured /Podcasts-Drills / Podcast: Janczyk Gettysburg 3
One of the most successful lacrosse coaches in NCAA history, Gettysburg – Hank Janczyk will take to the sidelines for his 28th season.
With a career record of 386-129 (341-105 at Gettysburg), Janczyk ranks second in NCAA history in men’s lacrosse coaching victories (all divisions). He became just the fifth NCAA men’s lacrosse coach to reach 300 wins when Gettysburg defeated Denison University 9-5 on March 8, 2008.
Janczyk also won his 300th game as a Gettysburg coach when the Bullets topped McDaniel College 10-6 in the 2010 Centennial Conference semifinals. He is one of just three NCAA men’s lacrosse coaches to pick up 300 victories at one school.
During his tenure, the 1976 graduate of Hobart College has guided the Bullets to 17 conference titles. Under Janczyk, Gettysburg has made 22 appearances in the NCAA Division III playoffs – a feat that has been accomplished by just three other Division III schools. Seventy-five Bullets have earned All-America recognition under Janczyk’s tutelage, and six players have captured a total of seven Division III positional player of the year awards. In addition, he coached the program’s first-ever Division III overall national player of the year when long stick midfielder Tommy Kehoe ’09 won the Iroquois National Award.
In 2008 Janczyk won the USILA Howdy Myers Man of the Year Award, presented to an individual who has contributed to the game of lacrosse in a capacity over and above the normal efforts and has shown unselfish and untiring devotion to the game.
At Hobart, Janczyk earned three varsity letters as a defenseman on the lacrosse team. He played on a pair of NCAA Division III runners-up and captained Hobart’s 1976 national championship squad. He was inducted into the 2010 class of the Hobart Hall of Fame as well as the Rochester Chapter of the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame (class of 2013).
Following several assistant coaching positions, Janczyk was named the head coach at Salisbury, where his teams posted a three-year record of 33-12. Later he coached two years at Colgate University before arriving at Gettysburg.
