Hall of Honor
Peterson won the 1977 SCIAC cross country championship and finished second in the 1978 conference final. She still holds the school marathon record, finishing the Three Rivers marathon in Indiana in a US female 18-year-old age group record time of 2:41:48. In '78, it was one of the all-time top ten times in the world for female runners. Her 3000-meter time from 1978 is still the second-best mark all-time at Caltech. The SCIAC honors her with an annual award presented to a senior cross-country runner who exemplifies great character, sportsmanship, and athletic ability.
