EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern cross country has added four-time All-American Peter Callahan as a volunteer coach, head coach 'AHavahla Haynes announced on Thursday.
"We are thrilled to have Peter join the program," Haynes said. "Having coached Peter at New Mexico, I'm certain his knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport will be a great addition to our staff. He has an established track record of balancing rigorous academic and athletic demands and that experience will be a great resource for our young women as they continue to develop in the classroom and in competition."
The Evanston native attended North Shore Country Day School in Winnetka, before moving on to Princeton University. While competing at Princeton, Callahan anchored the winning distance medley relay at the 2013 NCAA Indoor Championships and earned Top-5 results in the 1500M at the 2014 and 2015 NCAA Outdoor Championships while studying for his master's degree at the University of New Mexico. He also represented Team USA at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships in the 1500M.
Callahan competes internationally for Belgium, including an appearance at the 2016 European Athletics Championships.
The Wildcats continue their indoor track season this weekend at the Alex Wilson Invitational, hosted by Notre Dame in South Bend.
