About Ms. Petik

One of the most prolific hitters in the program’s DI era, Shelby Petik enters her second year as an assistant coach at Presbyterian College in 2019-20, after previously serving as a volunteer assistant with the program during the 2015-16 season.

In her first season back with the Blue Hose, Petik helped PC to a seven-win improvement in 2019, and coached Jonnie Petree and Kiley Kross, who were selected to the Second Team All-Big South and Big South All-Freshman teams, respectively.

From Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Petik previously served as an assistant at both Furman and Coker. She helped lead Furman to a 41-15 record in 2018, and Coker to a 41-17 mark in 2017.

Petik started every game during her four-year playing career at PC, during which she broke the program’s DI era career records for doubles, home runs, RBIs, total bases, walks and games played. Her 208 games played and 85 walks are still DI era career records, while her 40 doubles are tied for the career record.

A multiple Big South Player of the Week and All-Conference honoree, Petik spent all four years in the top-five on the team in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, runs scored, hits and RBIs. She eclipsed 100 hits (180), 100 RBIs (122) and 100 runs (100) to become the first Blue Hose to reach the milestone in all three categories.

A member of the Provost and Dean’s Lists, as well as the Psi Chi Honor Society, Petik graduated PC in May of 2015 with a degree in Psychology. She then completed a master’s degree in collegiate athletic administration at Coker College in 2017.
