Tony Mariano to retire as Norwich University athletics director in Spring 2022 By Norwich University Athletics
NORTHFIELD, Vt.
Longtime Norwich University Athletics Director Tony Mariano announced Monday that he will retire in Spring 2022. He will leave after 44 years at Norwich and three decades as Athletics Department leader.
“For over 40 years, Tony Mariano has bled Maroon and Gold, and has provided remarkable leadership in our athletic department,” Norwich University President Dr. Mark Anarumo said. “Tony has been a mentor for our coaches and staff, while creating a family atmosphere that has led to a culture of academic and athletic excellence in our athletic programs. Tony’s passion and unwavering loyalty to our university s mission have been admired by thousands of student-athletes, their families, fans and the entire Norwich community.

Hockey players sweep Coach Mariano Award as outstanding senior athletes of 2021
Men’s hockey forward Felix Brassard and women’s hockey defenseman Samantha Benoit were named outstanding senior athletes of 2021 last week at a picnic in Andrews Hall.
President Dr. Mark Anarumo and Athletic Director Anthony Mariano hailed student-athletes and distributed awards at the April 29 picnic, which replaced a traditional awards dinner and had been scheduled for Sabine Field until rainy weather intervened.
Anarumo said he understood the hurt of having an athletics season scrubbed by the pandemic, partly because he saw his son Mark Jr. lose his senior season of Division III ice hockey at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Anarumo said his son’s team lost a chance to contend for a national title and his son lost a chance to visit Europe with the armed forces all-stars.
