Recognized as a team-leader during her playing career at Creighton, Kate Petullo has brought that leadership back to the diamond, now in her second season on the Bluejay coaching staff.
The Waterloo, Iowa, native works with outfielders, in addition to her role with Bluejay softball camps. In her first season on staff she helped guide the Bluejays to their third consecutive Missouri Valley Conference regular-season crown last year.
Petullo was a Bluejay outfielder from 2004 through 2007, appearing in 122 games in that time. She was a member of three NCAA Tournament teams with the Bluejays, helping the Jays win the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in 2004, 2005 and 2007. The Jays also won the 2007 MVC regular-season championship with Petullo as a senior leader.
A key reserve on those successful Bluejay squads, she was the go-to pinch-runner throughout her career at Creighton. She appeared in a career-high 36 games and scored 14 runs as a freshman. During her senior season she led the Bluejays with nine stolen bases, despite not having an at-bat in her final campaign. She was given Creighton softball’s Most Inspirational Award following her sophomore, junior and senior seasons.
Before returning to Creighton, Petullo taught at Millard West High School in Omaha where she coached softball and basketball.
Petullo graduated from Creighton in 2007 with a degree in sociology. She is currently working toward her master’s degree in secondary education with an endorsement in social sciences at Peru State College.
