Veteran Harrison High School Swimming and Diving coach Mike Brossart has announced that he is stepping away from coaching after 38 years. The 2025-2026 season was his last.
Brossart, a Physical Education teacher at Harrison High School since 2001, founded the Harrison Swim team and ends his coaching career with an overall record of 329-254-2. He coached three State swim qualifiers in 2009, 2011, and 2012. Brossart earned Coach of the Year honors 10 times while with Harrison, twice in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference (FAVC), and 8 times in the Southwest Ohio Conference (SWOC).
He was on the coaching staff of the Harrison Boys Soccer team from 2001-2014 and again from 2020-2021, winning SWOC league championships in 2014 and 2021. Brossart also served as the JV Boys Golf coach in 2017 and JV Girls Golf coach in 2024.
"I would best describe Mike Brossart as someone who 'gave, more than he took' as a coach here at Harrison," said Mark Meibers, Harrison High School Athletic Director. "We cannot say thank you enough for all the time and energy he has poured in the Harrison Swim program. We wish him nothing but the best is his coaching retirement and he will be missed."
Prior to his tenure at Harrison, Brossart coached swimming and boys soccer at Badin High School. He was a three-time swim coach of the year at Badin, coached 8 state swim qualifiers, and led the Rams to a high school league championship. Brossart also coaches at the New London Hills Swim Club where he has led those swimmers to 19 Butler County Swim League Championships.
Brossart will be succeeded as Head Coach of the Harrison Aquacats by Josh Locke, pending Board approval. A math teacher at Harrison High School, Locke has been Brossart's assistant coach since 2022.
