KALAMAZOO -- The Western Michigan University men's and women's tennis teams have announced an addition to their staffs for the 2000-01 season.
Scott Petersen (Idaho '97) is the newest member of the Bronco coaching staffs. He will work with both Bronco teams during the 2000-01 season. In addition to his coaching duties during matches, Petersen will also assist with practice, recruiting, and travel plans.
A native of Portland, Ore., Petersen graduated from Idaho with a degree in recreation and tourism and earned a master's degree in sports recreation management from Idaho in 2000. He played No. 2 and 3 doubles for two seasons for the Vandals.
Following graduation, Petersen remained at Idaho as a graduate assistant coach with the men's tennis program. He helped Idaho's No. 1 doubles team achieve a ranking of as high as No. 10 in the nation during his coaching tenure.
Petersen also served as a teaching pro at Mint Valley Country Club in Longview, Wash., prior to joining the Bronco tennis staffs.
