Peter Kuchinski ('75 SMU) was a four-year competitor in cross-country and ran track and field for the Corsairs for another three season. An outstanding individual athlete, Kuchinski's cross country teams compiled a 47-5 record and his track teams posted a 33-3 record while he competed. After placing 10th in the NAIA NE Championships in his first season, Kuchinski's sophomore season included a victory at the Barrington Invitational, a fifth at the NAIA NE championships and a third at the Tri-State Conference championship. Kuchinski successfully defended his Barrington Invitational as a junior and also won the inaugural SMU Invitational. Later in the season, he won the NAIA NE's as the Corsairs captured first place. He led his team to a 10th place finish in the NAIA Nationals capping a 12-0 season. In his final cross country season he was ninth at the NAIA NE race as the Corsairs again took the title and SMU returned to the NAIA Nationals to earn a top 15 finish. Kuchinski's track career was equally impressive, including a third in the NAIA NE's in the one and three mile races, along with a school record in the mile, as a freshman. The following season, he set the SMU records in the two- and three-mile events and was third in the three mile at the NAIA NE's. As a senior, he set a school record in the marathon, was third in the NAIA NE mile, second in the three-mile and was third in the NAIA NE mile and second in the three-mile, capping his career by participating in the NAIA Nationals.
