According to a press release from Penn Athletics, M. Squash coach Craig Thorpe-Clark has resigned.

He offered a simple reason; the job meant to much time commuting and traveling with the team, which meant time away from his family.

The team went 4-7 in regular season play this year, but went on to win a title in the B division at the national championships.

Despite a losing season in 2009-10, Thorpe-Clark saw Penn Squash flourish in his 11 years — the program was ranked in the top 10 between 2001 and 2010 by the College Squash Association. He finished in the black, with a 95-79  mark overall.

The search for a new coach is underway, Penn Athletics says.
