In the fall of 2020, Peter Slovenski will begin his 34th season at Bowdoin, serving as the Director of Track & Field and head coach of the men's and women's cross country programs.
Arriving at Bowdoin in 1987, Slovenski's cross country and track teams have won seven NESCAC championships, three ECAC championships and one New England championship. In his tenure at Bowdoin, he has coached well over 100 All-American athletes and five national champions.Â
"There is an impressive collaboration between the academic and athletic efforts of Bowdoin students," according to Coach Slovenski. "The same discipline and commitment that makes Bowdoin athletes excel in regional and national athletic competition also makes them excel in the classroom."
Slovenski is a 1979 graduate of Dartmouth College, where he was a four-year letterwinner in winter and spring track. He set freshman records in the decathlon and pole vault and was an All-Ivy track selection in the pole vault in 1977 and 1978. He received an M.A. in educational administration and policy analysis from Stanford University in 1980. He was the host and Meet Director for the 1989 and 1993 NCAA Division III Championships and, for over 30 years, has run the summer Bowdoin Day Camp.Â
