Five individuals and one team were inducted into the Muhlenberg College Athletic Hall of Fame during Alumni Weekend.

Pictured above, left to right in the front row, are Mark "Kwitty" Kwiatkoski '80, Peter Rice '12, Tom Neumann '86, Muhlenberg College President Kathleen Harring, Kelly McKeon '11, and Ashley Brewer '11. Pictured in the back three rows are members of the 1989 men's soccer team.

Never in the proud history of Muhlenberg College will their names be lost from memory.

Kwiatkoski had a tremendous career as a starting pitcher, compiling a record of 21-11 with a 3.76 ERA. The ace on back-to-back MAC Southwest championship teams, he was named to the All-MAC South first team in 1979 (the only Mule pitcher to earn first-team honors between 1975 and 2000).

Kwiatkoski still holds school records for wins in a season (8 - tied), wins in a two-year period (15), winning percentage (.656), complete games (24), and shutouts (5 - tied) and held the school record for career wins for 30 years.

Rice is one of the most decorated runners in the history of the Muhlenberg track and field program, winning a school-record 19 Centennial Conference gold medals (12 in relays and 7 in individual events). Honored as the CC Most Outstanding Track Performer three times (indoors 2011 and 2012 and outdoors 2011), he was a three-time NCAA qualifier and earned All-America honors in 2009 as member of the distance medley relay teams.

Rice still holds seven school records (400, 4x400 indoors and outdoors, 200 outdoors, 4x200 and DMR indoors) and set two others that were broken in the last year. He holds the CC record in the indoor 400 and anchored the 2012 Penn Relays championship 4x400 relay team.

Neumann starred in multiple roles, earning first-team All-Centennial Conference honors three straight years, as a punter in 1983 and as a wide receiver in 1984 and 1985. He also was named to the All-ECAC South first team as a senior.

At the time of his graduation, Neumannn ranked fifth in program history with 2,203 all-purpose yards. He still holds the school records for yards per play in a career (18.8) and season (19.6 in 1984) and set the school record (since broken) for career average on kickoff returns (24.6).

McKeon was a four-year starter at point guard, leading the Mules to a 91-23 record, three Centennial Conference championships, and four NCAA Tournament berths, including "Sweet 16" runs in 2009 and 2011. A four-time All-CC selection, she was the 2010 CC and Mid-Atlantic Region player of the year.

McKeon set the school record (since broken) for career assists (453) and ranks fifth all-time in points (1237) and rebounds (763) and fourth in steals (201). She was particularly outstanding in the postseason, averaging 18.0 points and 11.4 rebounds in 10 games in the two "Sweet 16" seasons.

Brewer excelled both in the classroom and on the softball field, both a hitter and a pitcher, in her career. A three-time All-Centennial Conference selection, she was the CC player of the year in 2010 and 2011 and a third-team Academic All-American in 2011. She also was named to the All-East Region team twice, earning first-team honors in 2011.

The leading hitter on two CC championship teams, Brewer was a career .379 hitter and graduated with school records of 13 home runs and 93 RBI. Her .575 career slugging percentage ranks fourth all-time, and she ranks in the top 10 in program history in the pitching categories of wins (eighth with 30) and strikeouts (sixth with 259).

Muhlenberg's 1989 men's soccer team was one of the best in Division III that season: The Mules defeated eventual national champion Elizabethtown twice that year, including once in the Middle Atlantic Conference championship game. That win secured the program's first MAC title in 17 years. 

The Mules finished the season with a record of 18-2, outscoring its opponents by a combined margin of 56-9. They shut out 15 of their 20 opponents, earned the program's first NCAA Tournament bid since 1973, and were ranked as high as No. 7 in Division III. The team boasted six all-conference players and two All-Americans.
