Marinus John Kregel (February 18, 1911 – September 6, 1996) was an American football, basketball, baseball, and track coach and college athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach at Mission House College—now known as Lakeland University—in Plymouth, Wisconsin from 1937 to 1942 and again from 1946 to 1950, compiling a record of 40–32–2. Kregel was also the head basketball coach at Mission House from 1937 to 1943 and again from 1946 to 1951, Central College in Pella, Iowa from 1951 to 1965, and Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus, Georgia from 1965 to 1978.[1][2][3]

Kregel attended La Crosse State Teachers College—now known as University of Wisconsin–La Crosse—before transferring to Central College. At Central, he won four varsity letters in basketball and track, three in baseball, and two in football. In the football team, he was the regular quarterback for two seasons. Kregel graduated from Central in 1934 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology and physical education.[4][5]

Kregel dies on September 6, 1996, at his home in Americus.[6]
