Sean Peters completed his 11th season at the helm of the Wayne State swimming program in the winter of 2008.

Peters has led the Warriors to arguably their best seasons in school history, winning back-to-back GLIAC titles with both the men's and women's programs in 2006 and 2007. Wayne State joined Oakland - which did it seven times between 1989-97 - as the only schools in GLIAC history to win both titles in consecutive years. The 2008 women's squad went on to "three-peat" as champions and Elaina Hogle was named GLIAC Women's Swimming and Diving Athlete of the Year.

The men's team finished sixth at the 2008 NCAA Division II Championship, marking Wayne State's fourth straight top eight finish. In 2007, the third-place Warriors achieved their highest D-II finish ever and tied the 1941 Tartars for the best finish of all time, as Wayne State tied-for-third with Ohio State that year behind Michigan and Yale in the Division I meet.

The 2008 women's team, meanwhile, had its best finish in school history at nationals with a sixth-place performance.

Peters added to his growing list of All-Americans, which now stands at 137, including 57 First Team All-Americans, 45 All-America Honorable Mention individual recipients, 11 First Team All-America relays and 39 All-America Honorable Mention relays.

Wayne State won two individual national titles in 2008 under his watch. Christer Tour became the first WSU national champion since 1941 by winning the 100 breaststroke, setting school and national records. Additionally, the Warriors won the 200 medley relay, the first NCAA relay championship in school history.

A six-time GLIAC Men's Swimming Coach of the Year (2002, '03, '04, '05, '06, '07), Peters earned both the GLIAC Men's and Women's Coach of the Year award for the second consecutive season in 2007. He was presented with the women's award again in 2008.

In 2005. the two-time reigning GLIAC champs finished second to Grand Valley State, 689 to 671.5, yet swept the postseason awards as David Lutz was named GLIAC Athlete of the Year and A.J. Erard the league's top freshman.

Since Peters' arrived at Wayne State, the Warriors have become a perennial GLIAC contender while also climbing the national rankings. In 2004, the Warrior men won their second consecutive conference crown and placed 12th at the NCAA Championships.

The women's program has also reached new heights under Peters, placing third at the 2005 GLIAC Championships with a majority of underclassmen. Four individual varsity records and the 400 medley relay mark were set during the 2004-05 season. In fact, every men's and women's varsity record except the Men's 50 Freestyle has been set on Peters' watch.

Peters came to Wayne State after serving as an assistant coach for the men's and women's teams at Oakland University, where the Golden Grizzlies were Division II national champions in 1995, 1996 and 1997.

Prior to his coaching career, Peters swam at Oakland from 1991 to 1994, where he was a four-time NCAA National Champion, earning his first titles as part of the 200 and 400 Free Relay teams in 1993. In 1994, Peters served as captain and led the Golden Grizzlies to the national title. He anchored the championship winning 200 Medley Relay with a split time of 19.87 and his 400 Free Relay team defended its title. Peters also finished as national runner-up in the 50 Freestyle to an OU teammate. In total, Peters earned 13 All-America honors during his collegiate career.

Peters received his bachelor of science degree in environmental health from Oakland University. He and his wife, Kelly, were married in August 2004 and reside in St. Clair Shores.
