Blake James, the director of athletics, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Pete Watson to our Boston College Athletics family. Pete was the perfect option for our new Director of Track & Field and Cross Country,” said the hiring committee. “His background as a dynamic leader, championship coach, and exceptional recruiter.”
With Watson’s assistance, Texas track saw a comeback, and the Longhorns won the 2022 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship. To win the indoor national title, Texas’ distance players contributed 24 of the team’s final 47 points. He was also named the National Assistant Coach of the Year for NCAA Division I Men’s Indoor Track & Field in 2022.
