Before UNH
Peterson transferred to UNH in 2026-27 after competing for Stonehill College.
At Stonehill
Peterson enjoyed a successful two-year career at Stonehill, where she was a four-time Dean's List selection and earned College Sports Communicators Academic All-District honors.
As a sophomore in 2025-26, she established school records in the 100-yard breaststroke, 200 medley relay and 400 medley relay. At the NEC Championships, she helped Stonehill set school records in both relay events while also setting a program record in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.84) and the 200 breaststroke (2:23.42).
Throughout the season, Peterson earned multiple event victories, including wins in the 100 breaststroke and 200 breaststroke, and was named an NEC Prime Performer. She also contributed to several relay victories and posted a personal-best time of 1:05.95 in the 100 breaststroke.
During her freshman season, Peterson won both the 100 breaststroke and 200 breaststroke against Babson and recorded personal-best performances at a midseason meet hosted by Rhode Island.
A graduate of Concord High School, she excelled both academically and athletically while competing in swimming and track and field.
At Concord High School, Peterson graduated 11th in a class of 375 students and earned summa cum laude honors. She was recognized as an NH Scholar, a Jefferson Scholars semifinalist, a Harvard Book Award recipient and a three-time Principal's Award winner. She also earned High Academic Achievement Awards in German I, German II, History & Geography, AP Biology and AP Environmental Science.
In the pool, Peterson competed for club coach Brian Crawford and qualified for Speedo Sectionals during her senior year. She also competed at the ISCA Swim Meet in Florida and earned high academic honors throughout her high school career.
Personal
Born in Fairbanks, Alaska, and raised in Bow, New Hampshire. Daughter of Chris and Emily Peterson. Has three younger siblings: Corbin, Ivy and Max.
Peterson is majoring in finance and hopes to one day join the finance rotational program at Fidelity Investments. Her athletic goals include qualifying for the National Invitational Championships and ultimately competing at the NCAA Championships.
Outside the pool, Peterson enjoys learning about sports nutrition, weight training, baking, traveling and spending time with friends.
She also serves as a brand ambassador for Bobo's Oat Bars, combining her interests in nutrition and marketing. As part of the program, she received product donations that she shared with younger swimmers in her club community.
Why UNH?
"What I like most about UNH is the balance between strong academics and opportunities to get involved through swimming, leadership programs, networking events and campus organizations while still being close to both the city and the outdoors."
Fun Fact
Peterson enjoys cooking and is particularly known for making a variety of pasta dishes.
