a rightful place in UW-Oshkosh’s Hall of Fame after
pacing the sidelines as the school’s head women’s
volleyball for nearly a quarter-century.Petersen retired from coaching in 2004 after a distinguished 22-year career that included 630 wins, five Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) championships and three National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Final Four appearances.

Since then, the 1975 UW-Oshkosh graduate guided her alma mater to a 630-368 record (.631 winning percentage), including 12 30-plus-win seasons. The Titans reached 40 wins six times under Petersen's guidance, going 42-21 in 1984, 41-20 in 1988, 44-5 in 1990, 42-8 in 1991, 41-5 in 1995 and 40-5 in 1996. UW-Oshkosh qualified for NCAA Division III postseason play nine times during Petersen's tenure, highlighted by a second-place finish in 1994 and fourth-place finishes in 1991 and 1996. The Titans also participated in NCAA Division III postseason action in 1990, 1993, 1995, 1998, 2000 and 2001 and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) postseason competition in 1988 and 1989. In the WIAC, Petersen ranks as the league’s second-winningest coach. She led UW-Oshkosh to WIAC titles in 1990, 1991, 1994, 1995 and 2001. The Titans also finished second in the league in 1993.

of Fame after enjoying an exceptional distance running career for the Titans.
As a varsity letter winner on the men's cross country team from 1983 to 1986, Pollard was a member of the first UW-Oshkosh squad to qualify for the NCAA Division III Championship. He also established himself as the school's first All-American in the sport. At the then-called WSUC Championship, Pollard helped UW-Oshkosh to a fifth-place finish in 1983, a fourth-place finish in 1984, a second-place finish in 1985 and a fourth-place finish in 1986. Individually, Pollard cracked the top 20 each season, including a 14th-place finish in 1986 and a 15th-place finish in 1984. Pollard and his UW-Oshkosh teammates emerged on the national level in 1985 and the result was a seventh-place finish for the Titans and an 81st-place finish for himself. Pollard qualified individually for the NCAA Division III Championship the following season and the result was All-America status, a 24th-place finish.
The Oshkosh native had an outstanding career in track and field, culminated by a 5,000-meter run title at the 1987 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championship. His time of 14:31.20 in the race established a school record, one that stood for 10 years. Pollard, who received a varsity letter in track and field in 1984, 1986 and 1987, helped UW-Oshkosh to two second-place finishes, one third-place finish and one fourth-place finish at the WSUC indoor and outdoor championships. Since graduating from UW-Oshkosh in 1987, Pollard has utilized his education and athletic backgrounds to compliment each other for a career in athletic administration. Pollard presently resides in Madison, where he is the Associate Director of Athletics at the University of Wisconsin. He returned to his home state after holding similar positions at St. Louis University (Mo.) from 1989 to 1994 and the University of Maryland from 1994 to 1998. |
