CASTLETON, Vt. - Castleton head men's soccer coach John Werner announced his retirement after an impressive nine-year run with the Spartans and 40 years as a head soccer coach at the high school and college level.
"After 40 years as a head soccer coach and a total of 680 games, it is time to retire," said Werner. "With my wife Judy retiring from Arlington High at the end of this school year, we have plans to travel, enjoy a less hectic schedule and spend more time with our grandson.
I am extremely grateful to for the opportunity to coach at Castleton, with special thanks to President Wolk, Associate Dean of Athletics and Recreation Deanna Tyson, Senior Associate Director of Athletics Tim Barrett, and of course two members of my staff who have been with me the whole time, Paul Storey and Scott French. I plan to still be involved in the beautiful game and will always support Castleton Soccer!".
