Lew Jenkins will enter his 14th season at the helm of the Seahawk baseball team in 2008. His overall record of 230-218-2 includes four 20-win seasons, including a 21-17-1 mark during the 2004 campaign. The Seahawks had three consecutive 20-win seasons from 1998-2000 under Jenkins' tutelage, marking the first three in the program's history. The 26-7 mark in 1999 set team records for most wins and best winning percentage.
Jenkins is probably best known for his 25 years as head coach at Surrattsville High School in Clinton, Md., where he won 326 games, No. 1 on the state's all-time list at the time of his retirement. He left Surrattsville after the 1993 season with a lifetime winning percentage of .718. After the state playoff system took effect in 1975, his teams qualified for postseason play 18 straight years. Jenkins won 11 Prince George's County titles at a time when that area was considered a hotbed of baseball talent.
Between his retirement from high school coaching and his arrival at St. Mary's, Jenkins spent three seasons as an assistant at two of the premier Division I programs in the region, Georgetown and George Washington Universities. Several players from those teams went on to play professional baseball.
In his spare time,
Jenkins has scouted for the Texas Rangers, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the
Major League Scouting Bureau. He lives in Waldorf, Maryland with his wife,
Marian. The couple has three grown sons, four granddaughters, and one
grandson.
