Competition record
Post-Athletics Career
Ogilvie served as Executive Director of Athletics Alberta from 2005 to 2014. He was CEO of the organizing committee that managed the 18th Panamerican Junior Athletics Championships,[4] which came to western North America for the first time in 2015. In fact, Peter Ogilvie is the first Pan Am Games medallist/ alumni in athletics to have successfully led the event management and operations of the Panamerican Junior Athletics Championships.
He was instrumental in organizing the first-ever amalgamated Canadian Track and Field Championships in 2015, which combines junior, senior, and para-athletes into one major event, and managed the Athletics Canada 2016 Rio Olympic and Paralympic Selection Trials to be held in early July 2016 with Edmonton as host city.
Ogilvie is recognized for his unique talent for connecting sport and business to ensure that the right people come together to guarantee the success of these events. In the process he has made Edmonton the destination city for athletic events[5] and created the foundation for establishing TrackTown Canada on March 28, 2014.[6]
Ogilvie created and produces the annual TrackTown Classic, now in its second year, after redeveloping the event after the Edmonton International Track Classic (2010 - 2014) which he established while at Athletics Alberta. This international athletics competition, held at the University of Alberta's Foote Field, has been ranked consistently as one of the Top 50 IAAF invitational meets in the world for the past four years.
