GOLDEN, Colo. - Leah Glasgow has stepped down as the head softball coach at Colorado School of Mines to accept the same position at St. Edward's University.

Director of Athletics David Hansburg has named assistant coach Tara Wheeler as the program's interim head coach.

"I want to thank Leah for six great years in charge of our softball program and wish her the best in her new role," Hansburg said. "She has certainly elevated the program on the field and in the classroom and leaves it in a better place."

Glasgow, a two-time RMAC Coach of the Year, won 139 games over the past six seasons to become Mines' all-time winningest softball coach. She quickly turned the program around after an 11-win 2015 season, recruiting a talented class that would go 108-86 over the next four years including four straight RMAC Tournament berths. The 2017 season was one of the best in program history with 32 wins and an appearance in the RMAC Tournament final.

Glasgow oversaw numerous standouts in her tenure including all-American shortstop Clara Larson, three players on the career top-10 hits list (Paige Noehring, Katie Leiker, and Larson), and four on the RBI top-10 list (Larson, Sonoma Toot, Kara Jones, and Leiker). Glasgow has also had multiple all-RMAC pitchers including Sydney Marchando, Claire Stringfellow, and Hallie Smith over the last three seasons.

Wheeler joined the Mines staff as an assistant in the fall of 2018. A native of Wheat Ridge, the former Tara Mickelson is a familiar name to RMAC softball fans as a two-time All-American and RMAC champion playing at MSU Denver. She led the Roadrunners to the NCAA Division II World Series in 2010 and earned Daktronics Second-Team All-America, NFCA Second-Team All-Region, and First-Team All-RMAC honors. She led NCAA Division II home runs that year (25) and was named one of Softball Magazine's top 12 D-II seniors. From 2014 to 2016, she served as an assistant coach at MSU Denver, and spent the 2016-17 school year assisting with Arvada West High School's program. Most recently before Mines, Wheeler was an assistant coach with the Colorado Next Level 16u program.
