Wendy Bartlett, after 40 years, and four College Squash Association (CSA) Howe Cup national team championships (in 2002, 2003, 2014 and 2024), as the Head Women’s Squash Coach at Trinity College she has decided to retire. In addition to those four team championships, as well as eight additional final-round advances (in 2001, 2004, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2023). Coach Bartlett herself received a singular honor when she was inducted into the CSA Hall of Fame during a ceremony in March 2019. She also head-coached the Trinity College women’s tennis team throughout the 31-year period from 1984-2015, and her 40 years at the helm of the Bantams women’s squash program make Bartlett the longest-tenured coach of any sport and the most successful women's coach in the history of Trinity College athletics. Coach Bartlett had actually planned to retire the spring of 2023, but, after coming so close and falling barely short, and knowing that every one of her 2022-23 starters would be returning in 2023-24, she was determined that she would coach one more year to get her team over the top. Which is exactly what happened this past season, during which the Bantams capped off an undefeated dual-meet season with a surge through the 2024 Howe Cup that concluded with a decisive 6-2 final-round victory over a Princeton team that had eliminated Harvard in the semis. This result showed the resolve of both Coach Bartlett and her players, who, rather than be demoralized by the heartbreaking conclusion to the 2023 Howe Cup final, instead were even more motivated than ever to take that last step and allowed Coach Bartlett to write a storybook ending to her long and illustrious coaching career.
