    Tom Koehle is entering his fourth season as the head men's golf coach at Penn State Altoona.  Koehle also begins his second season as the women's golf coach after the program's inaugural campaign a year ago.
    Under Koehle's guidance, the Lions reached the top of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference in 2006, capturing their second AMCC title and qualifying for the NCAA Division III Tournament for the first time in school history.  Also in '06, the Lions won their second Eastern College Athletic Conference Southern Region Championship on their home course of Sinking Valley Country Club.  In total, Koehle's teams have combined to win seven team tournament championships in four years.  He has coached five AMCC all-conference selections and two AMCC Individual Tournament champions. 
     The 2005 campaign featured a fourth place finish at the AMCC Championships, two second place finishes at Penn State Behrend and La Roche, and a first place victory at the Mount Aloysius Invitational.  In 2004, the Lions won the Penn State Altoona Invitational and finished second at the AMCC Championship, falling just one stroke short of repeating as conference chamions. Also in 2004, Kevin Lazzaro won his second consecutive AMCC individual title, and the Lions produced two AMCC first team all-conference golfers in Lazzaro and Troy Monahan.
     The Altoona native is no stranger to NCAA golf or the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, having participated in both as a player at Penn State Altoona from 1999-2001. Koehle enjoyed success as a player, earning team Most Valuable Player and AMCC All Conference honors during the 2001 seasons. He also won the Mount Aloysius Invitational and took second at the La Roche Invitational in 2001.
     Aside from his coaching duties at Ivyside, Koehle served as the assistant golf professional and tournament coordinator at Sinking Valley Country Club until May of 2006.  He is currently the head golf professional at the Huntingdon Country Club in Huntingdon, PA.  Koehle also was the assistant golf pro at Toftrees Golf Club in State College where he specialized in junior, group, and individual instruction.
     Along with teaching and coaching, Koehle still finds time to compete in various local pro-am tournaments, United States Open Qualifiers, and Western Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Golf Association tournaments.
