Peterson Signs Soccer Letter with Westminster College


(Grant Peterson, surrounded by family and Coach Cunningham)
 

     Four years ago a freshmen stepped onto the soccer field at Danner Park, determined to help establish the young Chillicothe Hornets Soccer program. Four years later at the new Jerry Litton Stadium, Grant Peterson helped lead the Hornets to a record setting season and will now continue his soccer career at Westminster College in Fulton, MO.
     Peterson officially signed a letter of intent with what he calls "a really great Liberal Arts College". He expects to continue playing a familiar position.

     "They likely will keep me at the wing position like coach Cunningham had me at" stated Peterson. "I have speed attributes that help me out there a lot."
     Peterson's high school coach, Tim Cunningham, says Grant has a lot of tools that will help him in college.
     "Grant brings dedication, a ton of will power, strength... he wants to compete and he's a huge reason why we had the success we had this season."
     Peterson is the third Hornets soccer player this season to sign on the collegiate level, joining  Wade Dietz and Brice Griffin with additional signings expected. Cunningham says it makes him proud to see athletes continue their sport into college.

     "They put in the work and the time to become better players. They've had the desire to be a better player and now they're going to get a chance to continue their career in college".
     Westminster's Boys Soccer program went 10-7-2 this season.
