Peterson starred at Providence Academy before switching to Minnetonka High School ahead of her freshman season. The Skippers went 16-12 during her first season at Minnetonka.
The prep star is one of a trio of highly-rated recruits from the state in the Class of 2028. Chloe Johnson leads the state's 2028 class as the No. 3 recruit in the nation, followed by Peterson at No. 20 and Lakeville North's Sahara Wilson at No. 23.

Gophers head coach Dawn Plitzuweit has already offered Peterson a scholarship. Peterson's other reported unofficial visits include trips to Maryland and Ohio State, while she's received offers from the likes of Iowa, Florida, Kansas, Michigan and Arizona, among others.
Plitzuweit is on a bit of a recruiting heater, having recently received a commitment from the No. 1 player in Wisconsin, Natalie Kussow.
Kussow is ranked No. 26 in the nation by recruiting service 247Sports. She joins Crosby-Ironton (Minnesota) commit Tori Oehrlein, who is ranked 36th nationally by 247Sports, in the Gophers' 2026 recruiting class.
