Pedersen was the 2018 Danish Junior Champion in both the 100 LCM freestyle (52.46) and 200 LCM freestyle (1:54.54). At the 2019 Danish Open in April, he took 10th  place in the 50 LCM freestyle (24.00), 12^th place in the 100 LCM freestyle (52.53), and 14^th place in the 200 LCM freestyle (1:55.79).

To date, Pedersen has been as good, or better, in long course than short course.. With those converted times, Pedersen would have had the second fastest time on TCU’s ‘A’ 800 free relay at the 2019 Big 12 Championships and would have been faster than the leadoff swimmer on the ‘A’ 400 free relay. He will be joined by Charles Millette and Nick Skinner as well as Serbian sprinter Dusan Babic and American sprinter Ethan Autry as members of the class of 2023.
