Doug Petersen
Coach
Petersen helped guide the 2014 USF Mens Cross Country team to runner-up finishes at the NSIC Conference and Central Region meets and an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships and a No. 8 ranking in the final USTFCCCA rankings, the highest national finish and ranking in program history. In that 2014 season, Billy Brockmueller and Matthew Horan both earned All-America honors for cross country. In addition, Peterson was part of the staff that directed the mens team to a third straight NSIC second place finish in 2015 while the womens team jumped from 10th to 7th. Along his work with the USF Cross Country team, Petersen assisted the mens distance medley relay team of Bobby Brockmueller, Billy Brockmueller, Jase Kraft, Taylor Wensmann and Trey Ferguson to an eighth-place finish at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, breaking the school record and earning the first track All-American finish for USF in their Division II era. Prior to joining the USF staff, Petersen put together a Minnesota Cross Country Hall of Fame coaching career at Adrian High School Cross Country from 1986-2008. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014, Petersen also coached the Adrian girls track and field from 1975-2012 and boys track and field from 1986-2012. As the cross country coach, Petersen led the Adrian girls team to four consecutive Minnesota Class A State Championships from 2005-2008, a Minnesota record. Over the same time frame, Petersen recorded four straight top-eight finishes with the boys team, including runner-up in 2007 and third place in 2006. Individually, Petersen molded two individual state champions, a total of 15 All-State performers, and 10 conference championship teams. On the track, Petersen developed 13 boys and girls individual state champions and 10 girls relay state championship teams. He led the girls team to three Tri-County Conference championships and two runner-up finishes in the Red Rock Conference. On the boys side, Petersen led the Adrian squad to a pair of runner-up Tri-County Conference finishes. Petersen coached 71 conference champions and nearly 100 All-Conference athletes during his time at Adrian. Doug and his wife Terri live in Brandon, S.D. and have six children and nine grandchildren.
