Monthly Meeting - featuring Baseball Head Coach Russell Triplett

Cash bar starts at 5:30pm and speaker begins at 6:00pm.

We look forward to hosting Citadel baseball coach, Russell Triplett, at Augusta Grill on Tuesday, October 8.  Coach Triplett accepted the job at a press conference in Charleston on June 24, 2024.  A former standout at Clemson University, Triplett has served as the head coach at Newberry College for the last 14 seasons, amassing an overall record of 418-278-1.  "The opportunity to take the helm of a program with as much history, tradition and pure grit as The Citadel is a dream come true," Triplett said. 

Throughout his tenure, Coach Triplett garnered honors as the South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year on three occasions (2015, 2019, and 2023) while also mentoring three SAC Players of the Year, two SAC Freshmen of the Year and two SAC Conference Scholar Athletes of the Year.

Before joining the Wolves, Triplett served as the head assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at USC Upstate from 2008-2010, and prior to that as a volunteer assistant at Clemson University.

As a player, Triplett was a four-time letterman and a two-time second-team All-ACC shortstop at Clemson from 2000-04. He played in 222 total games for the Tigers, finishing with an overall batting average of .312. A two-time team captain, Triplett guided Clemson to four NCAA Regional appearances, two NCAA Super Regionals and a College World Series appearance in 2002.

A native of West Columbia, S.C., Triplett earned his Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Clemson. Triplett and his wife, Ciria, are proud parents of three sons.

Let’s help welcome Russell to The Citadel family.  Bring your spouse or better half.  This is going to be a fantastic evening.  Go Dogs!
