Bio

Pete Koupal enrolled at UW-Oshkosh in 1970 after earning three varsity letters in football, basketball and baseball at Regis High School in Eau Claire.

At UW-Oshkosh, Koupal concentrated his efforts in football and baseball. A three-year letter-winner in football, Koupal quarterbacked the 1972 UW-Oshkosh squad to an 8-2 record and a WSUC championship. In that title season he completed 64 of 154 passes for 853 yards and four touchdowns.

The following season as a senior, Koupal completed 94 of 205 passes for 1,193 yards, the fifth highest single-season total in UW-Oshkosh history. His 2,304 career passing yards ranks fourth in UW-Oshkosh history.

Koupal also shined in baseball, earning four varsity letters as a catcher and second baseman. During his four-year baseball career, UW-Oshkosh teams complied a 99-46 record, won two WSUC titles and competed in three NAIA World Series. In 1973, Koupal and current Milwaukee Brewer Jim Gantner helped lead UW-Oshkosh to a third-place finish at the NAIA World Series. That season Koupal earned All-WSUC honors by compiling a career-high .364 batting average and 34 runs batted in. He concluded his career with a .316 batting average, 101 runs batted in, 26 doubles and six home runs.

Following graduation in 1974, Koupal returned to Regis High School to coach football and baseball. Since 1978 he has been an agent with American Family Insurance.
