Elicia Anderson '12, Track and Field and Cross Country
A three-time All-American, three-time PSAC Champion and eight-time All-PSAC performer, Elicia Anderson ranks among the most accomplished athletes in Millersville history. Including cross country, indoor and outdoor track seasons, Anderson qualified for NCAA Championship events seven times and was a 10-time USTFCCCA All-Atlantic Region performer. Anderson won PSAC crowns in the 2011 outdoor 10,000-meter run and the 2012 outdoor 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs. Anderson set and still holds five Millersville school records.
Wellington Cleaver '71, Men's Basketball
A three-time All-PSAC East First Team selection, Wellington "Butch" Cleaver averaged an incredible 20.4 points and 15.5 rebounds per game during his highly-productive Millersville career. A two-time NAIA All-America Honorable Mention honoree, Cleaver ranked second in the PSAC in scoring as a junior and totaled more than 40 points three times that season. His career scoring average still ranks third in Millersville history.
Ciaran Dalton '00, Men's Soccer
A prolific offensive threat for Millersville from 1995-98, Ciaran Dalton totaled 105 points and 43 goals during a stellar four-year career which included three All-PSAC selections. Dalton ranks second all-time at Millersville in points and goals and is sixth in career assists. He is one of only two Marauders to rank in the top six in both goals and assists. In 1998, while captaining his team to a PSAC Runner-Up finish, Dalton totaled 44 points on 18 goals and eight assists.
Tim Naylor '93, Football
A linebacker's job is to make tackles, and no player in Millersville history did that job better than Tim Naylor. Millersville's all-time leader with 513 tackles and 225 solo stops, Naylor was a two-time Kodak and Don Hansen's Football Gazette Division II All-American and three-time All-PSAC East selection. His 107 solo tackles in 1992 still stands as a school record.
Joe Schneider '68, Men's Basketball and Baseball
A three-year starter on the hardwood and on the diamond, Joe Schneider was a catalyst behind three NAIA District 19 titles for the men's basketball team. Schneider scored 1,371 career points, averaging 17.6 points per game, but it is his defense that is truly legendary. Schneider's 345 career steals (4.4 per game) still stands fourth in PSAC history, and his 149 steals as a senior in 1968 is a PSAC record 50 years later.
Don Wagner '83, Wrestling
When it comes to the long, storied history of Millersville wrestling, Don Wagner is in elite company. He is one of only two Marauders to ever win both a national championship and a PSAC Championship. As a heavyweight for the Marauders, Wagner reached the pinnacle of Division III wrestling during his junior season of 1980 when he won the national championship. The following season in 1981, Wagner won a PSAC Championship and qualified for the NCAA Division III Championships where he was an All-American.
Barb Waltman '73, Coach
For 33 years, Barb Waltman dedicated her life to the student-athletes at Millersville University. The longest-tenured head coach in the history of Division II women's lacrosse, Waltman is one of only three Millersville coaches to lead a team to a national championship. She retired with more wins than any other coach in Division II history and ranked 15th on the all-time wins list regardless of division. A three-time Brine/IWLCA Division II Coach of the Year and the PSAC Coach of the Year in 1989 and 1991, Waltman's teams won three PSAC Championships and finished as the conference runner-up five times from 1982-2001. Her 1982 team won the AIAW Division II Championship, becoming Millersville's first women's team with a national title.
The class will be recognized at the induction dinner and ceremony on Friday, Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. in the Lehr Room of Gordinier Hall.
