In his nine seasons as head men's wrestling coach at Lakeland, Pete Rogers took a program that struggled to field a complete roster to national rankings in each of his last three seasons and back-to-back top 30 team finishes at the NCAA Division III National Tournament.
He helped guide the Muskies to three conference titles and three second-place finishes, coached four national tournament qualifiers and two All-Americans. The Muskies finished 21st in the nation in 2008-09 and 26th in the nation in 2009-10, his final season at Lakeland. He was instrumental in Lakeland hosting an NCAA Division III Wrestling Regional in 2009.
Lakeland's breakthrough season was 2007-08 when Rogers guided the Muskies to a 13-5-1 dual record, including a 5-0 record against teams from the talented Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The team also won the Northern Wrestling Alliance title, earned its first national ranking in school history and sent just the second national qualifier in Lakeland history to nationals, Paul Hartt.
