Every year, our Peter and the Wolves team proudly participates in the Hood to Coast Relay, honoring the legacy of the late Peter Courtney. A former Oregon State Legislator, long-time WOU employee, and dedicated donor, Peter served as a special assistant to six WOU presidents and had a passion for all sports, including this very relay. This year, our team—composed of WOU alumni, employees, and friends—successfully completed the 196.0 miles, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and determination that Peter championed.
This year’s runners and drivers included Kaytie Salzman, Jeremy Smith, Tara Seizys, Sarah Lorenzen, David Reed, Laura Beckert, John Cunningham, Dustin Ballard, Tracey Hunt, Spencer Walsh, Dominique Vargas, Marisa McLain, Christ Campbell, and Darin Silbernagel. We are incredibly proud of this remarkable group!
