As fervently as he fired 3-pointers on the basketball court, Pete Binelas strived grade points during his career at Stout.

The quintessential student-athlete for the Blue Devils from 1990-94, Binelas is second in Stout men's basketball records for single-season 3-pointers made (67) and holds the single-season 3-point percentage (47.6 percent) mark, while ranking fourth on Stout's career 3-pointers made list with 141. Just as impressively, Binelas - who holds the program's record for most career games played (103) and stands second on the Blue Devils' all-time scoring list with 1,492 points - earned WSUC Max Sparger Scholar-Athlete honors in 1994 and Academic All-American honors that same year. A two-year team captain (1992-93, 1993-94), Binelas earned all-WSUC honors three times. After graduating from Stout magna cum laude in 1995, Binelas played professional basketball in Greece from 1999-2000.

Binelas, who donates a considerable amount of time to United Way, is employed by the United Parcel Service (UPS), and currently resides in Oak Creek.
