A Family Affair: Nic Petersen, Florida Jumpers Thriving in Family-Oriented Environment - GatorZone.comPublished by
A Family Affair: Nic Petersen, Florida Jumpers Thriving in Family-Oriented EnvironmentPublished by Zach Diriam/Florida SID on November 12, 2015 GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Roughly six years ago, a letter from Nic Petersen arrived at the University of Florida’s track and field office. Addressed to long-time Gators head coach Mike Holloway, it was one of several penned by Petersen, then restlessly pursuing any and all paid coaching opportunities following his second season as a volunteer assistant at his alma mater, the University of Nebraska. The former pole vaulter certainly wasn’t short on experience. He’d tutored two national champions, five Big 12 Conference champions, and a 2008 Olympian alongside legendary head coach Gary Pepin. But he was relatively short on professional contacts. And the coaching fraternity is one of the hardest to break into. Whether or not Holloway actually received the letter remains a mystery. Petersen knows he sent it. Holloway doesn’t remember it ever coming across his desk. Today, inside Florida’s Lemerand Athletic Center, their offices reside just three doors down from one another. Holloway lured Petersen away from Texas Christian University in the summer of 2012, tabbing the young Nebraskan who’d been an assistant coach all of three seasons to lead one of the most illustrious jumps programs in NCAA history—UF owns 20 men’s national titles, the third-most among Division I teams since winning its first crown in 1951.
