COACHES
COACH DUKE DULGARIAN
Head Coach
Duke Dulgarian established the Mira Costa Rugby program in 2014 as an official Varsity sport on the Mustang campus. That year the Mustangs went 11-0 and won the Southern California High School Rugby Championship.
Duke attended UCLA where he played Wing for 4 years on the Bruins Rugby team. Upon graduation, he was hired by his high school alma mater as the Head Football Coach. Duke has coached football at the college, high school and youth levels, including a stint at Mira Costa where he was the Varsity Linebacker Coach.
However, Duke’s move to coaching Rugby was a result of his son Harrison’s involvement in the Los Angeles Rugby Club youth program. Duke coached his son’s team to 3 Southern California Championships.
The Mira Costa Rugby program have won 2 Southern California Championships and a Southern California 7’s Championship. The program has grown adding a Boys’ JV side as well as establishing a growing and successful Girls‘ Rugby program.
Over the years, the Mustangs have traveled to North Carolina for the National Championship in which they placed 7th. The team has also traveled to Wales, Spain and Italy. Additionally, Costa has played teams from New Zealand, Australia, Wales and Canada.
Duke also owns his own real estate company and is married to his college sweetheart, Irene Maria Dulgarian and they have two sons, Jack and Harrison.
COACH HUNTER
Assistant Coach
Coach Hunter started playing rugby at UCLA in the early 80’s. Thereafter, he played for several clubs in the Bay Area during law school until he moved to LA in 1986 and joined the Santa Monica RFC, where he played for the Div 1 side until 2000. At various times, he also played overseas in Australia, England, Scotland and Wales.
Coach Hunter has been a coach at Mira Costa High School since 2014. He also coached the U12, U14 and U16 sides for Santa Monica RFC. He has been an accredited World Rugby Level 2 Coach since 2016.
Coach Hunter coaches rugby because he wants to pass on his love for the game of rugby to as many high school players as possible in the hope that they catch the “rugby bug,” and continue to play in college and beyond. His favorite part of coaching is teaching the players what it means to be a true rugby player, i.e., a self-effacing, extremely hard working athlete who is a gentleman on and off the pitch.
COACH O'NEILL
Assistant Coach
Coach O’Neill started coaching at Mira Costa in the summer of 2023. He previously coached rugby at Greenwich (CT) and then Randwick (Sydney). He played club rugby for the Red Heavies of the University of Queensland, as well as Brisbane Grammar School and Brothers Juniors before that, spending five years playing for each team.
Coach O’Neill loves to coach rugby in order to help players realize that rugby is a great teacher of life. His favorite part of coaching at MIra Costa is giving the players the opportunity to play against teams from different cities, states and countries.
REED VABRY
Assistant Coach
Coach Vabrey played rugby for two years at Mira Costa High School and four years at the University of Oregon.
