Jack Rowlett has been named Boys Lacrosse Head Coach at Bishop O'Connell High School.
Rowlett comes to O'Connell with a distinguished playing career that included a national title at the University of North Carolina, and a gold medal on the U-19 Team USA. He is currently a professional player in the Premier Lacrosse League, and most recently served as the Director of Lacrosse at The St. James in Springfield, Va.
"I could not be more excited to have an opportunity to lead this group of young men," said Rowlett. "I look forward to helping them grow as people as well as lacrosse players. We are going to continue to build the program and develop a culture that we can be proud of."
"Coach Rowlett will be a great teacher of the game and will develop players, but what impressed me was his focus on coaching as an opportunity to mentor and positively influence the players he works with," said Athletic Director Joe Wootten. "I am confident he has the approach that players will be excited to play for."
