Congratulations to ESD boys soccer coach Mark Gardner, who reached a career milestone this month with his 300th career victory after the Eagles defeated St. Mark’s 3-2.

Gardner, who started coaching at ESD in 1993, holds the record for most wins in a single varsity sport at the school. The Eagles won the SPC Division I title last season.

“It really makes me think about all the students and families I’ve coached over the years,” Gardner said. “I enjoy every season I coach, from soccer to field hockey. I have to give credit to the kids, though — they are the ones who win the game. If I can say I’ve only had one losing season out of 22, that’s pretty fortunate.”
