Brian Jaworski has served as head men's golf coach since 2007 and was promoted to Associate Professor of Physical Education in the spring of 2011.
Besides being competitive on the course, consistently ranking among the top teams in the Midwest Conference Tournament, the Pioneers achieved the ultimate academic achievement in 2011 when they were named the Academic National Champion for all of NCAA Division III.
For the first time since 1994, Grinnell had two golfers earn all-conference honors when Evan Bunis and Zach McGriff did so in the 2016 league tournament.
Additionally, over the past four years the Pioneers have had golfers earn Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar honors - Pete Kieselbach '10 in 2009 and 2010, and Peter Marsho '12 in 2011 and 2012.
Jaworski's 2015 squad shattered the school record for meet score with a 279, besting the previous mark of 301. In the same meet, JP DeFranco set a school record for individual score with a 66.
Jaworski also has served as coach of the Pioneer men's soccer team since 2004. The 2009 Pioneer squad won the Midwest Conference Tournament title and earned the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance as Jaworski was voted MWC Coach of the Year.
He and his wife Leslie (a staff member of the College’s psychology department), with the assistance of College coaches Tim Hollibaugh and Andy Hamilton, began the Grinnell Sports Camp in 2005. The camp allows participants to learn fundamentals and participate in drills in a variety of sports while also learning the values of sportsmanship and enjoyment of several activities.
Jaworski resides in Grinnell with his wife and they have three children:
