PCC’s Hall of Fame

After a 5-year hiatus, the PCC Sports Hall of Fame is back in business. Ten former Lancers, two coaches, and three teams entered the 2023 class with an on-campus ceremony on May 13. 

The Hall of Fame committee, including a number of former PCC sports alumni, added to a list created in 2020 in putting together a large class of 15 inductees. 

“This induction class crosses different decades, and all experienced great moments in our PCC athletics history,” said Robert Lewis, Hall of Fame spokesperson and long-time sports information specialist at the College. “There are countless great individuals, teams, and coaches who belong in our hall and their time will come.”

The Hall plaques are adorned on the walls of the first floor of PCC’s GM Athletics Building. With this year’s class, the total of inductees is 116 individuals and four teams.
