PCM alum Todd Lorensen will add to an already impressive coaching resume, as he was recently named the next men’s basketball coach at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake.

Since 2014, Southwestern Community College men’s basketball had their most successful four-year stretch in program history and it was no coincidence that Lorensen was at the helm. Winning 40% of their games in the previous five seasons, he immediately flipped the script for the Spartans winning 23 games in his first season and made history when he guided them to their first ever National Junior College Athletic Association national title in 2016-17. Lorensen takes over a Beaver program that went 17-9 this past season in the IIAC Conference.

Basketball success runs in the family, as Todd is the son of longtime PCM boys basketball coach Fred Lorensen.
