“Tough, consistent and humble.”
These are three words junior Bobby Johnson uses to describe his teammate Erik Peterson.
Peterson, a senior, is a three-time All-American distance runner for Butler University’s track and field team. His name pops up often in event recaps and towards the top of results pages.
Over the past three years as a Butler runner, Peterson has shattered both personal and school records in the 3000-meter and 5000-meter run.
