New Assistant Coach Zach Stegeman

I'm happy to announce that we've hired Zach Stegeman as our new assistant coach. Zach is a southern Maine native and a graduate of Yarmouth HS, where he was a teammate of Walt Shepard '10 (and yes, he's even older than Walt). He went on to earn a degree in History from St. Lawrence, where he was a four-year carnival team skier and team captain his senior year. After graduating in 2002, he was an assistant coach at Cape Elizabeth HS for two years and then head coach at North Yarmouth Academy for two years (where he coached Grace Hyndman '11). For the last five years, Zach has been living in Colorado Springs and working in sponsorship and marketing for USA Triathlon. We were lucky to have Zach show up on our radar when his wife Kathryn (former Bates Nordic captain) was hired as an Associate Dean of Admissions here at Bowdoin - fortunately for us, he was eager to get back into ski coaching. Zach comes to us highly recommended by lots of people in the Bowdoin Nordic family - I'm absolutely thrilled to have him on board!
