Mike Greene is entering his seventh year as Athletic Facilities Coordinator and his third year as head coach for the rifle program at Columbus State University.

Coach Greene had an immediate impact on the program as Jonathan Hall won the 2010 Air Rifle Championship.  Hall’s mark of 699.9 is the highest total in NCAA history, besting the previous mark by 3.5 points.  In the program’s first two years, the Cougars have won the NCAA Sectional in both the air rifle and smallbore competitions.  As a result of the instant success of the team, Columbus State University hosted the 2011 NCAA Rifle Championship.

In 2011, Greene coached his first All-American as April Dunn was selected to the second team All-American in the Air Rifle discipline.

In addition to his duties as rifle coach, Greene is now responsible for the day-to-day operation of Columbus State University’s original gym, Woodruff Gym. He also handles the duties as a marketing representative for the CSU Athletic Department.

An ordained minister, Greene has served at several churches in the Columbus area and is the team chaplain for the men’s and women's basketball team at CSU.

Greene and wife Marlece have two adult daughters and three grandchildren. They reside in the Dinglewood area of Columbus.
