Peru State College Athletics

For over two years during World War II Peru State Teachers College was one of 131 colleges and universities to host the United States of America Navy V-5 aviation cadet program and V-12 officer training program. These men were the majority of the Bobcat athletes from 1943-1945. Without these men, the history and spirit of Bobcat athletics would have been lost for those years. Peru State College acknowledges the sacrifices made by the men in the V-5 and V-12 programs for Peru State College and our country.
