Schauer says of the recognition, "Mel Peterson is the most accomplished player in the history of Wheaton Basketball.  He is the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in program history and was the key contributor to Wheaton's 1957 National Championship team coached by Lee Pfund.  He remains close to the program and an encouragement both to me personally and to the program generally.  We simply wanted to take a moment this evening to recognize the contributions Mel has made to the program and express a heartfelt Thank you!"
