RECENT PCC ATHLETIC HISTORY
For the past several years Pasadena City College’s Athletics
has seen tremendous progress since the building of the campus’ athletic complex (GM Building) in 1999.
This includes Robinson Stadium (the football site named in honor
of two great sports icons, Jackie and Mack Robinson), Hutto-Patterson
Gymnasium, and the Aquatic Center. PCC also hosts the renovated Sports Hall of Fame (wall of plaques on the first floor of the GM Building) and Court of Champions, an array of bronze busts of famous PCC alumni, located just outside of the GM.
In 2006, an artificial turf
surface (SprinTurf) was added to Robinson Stadium for football and soccer games and in 2009 a new track was fitted. Renovations have been done on off-campus fields for both Brookside Park's Jackie Robinson Memorial Field and the auxiliary diamonds for baseball and softball, respectively.
- The women's basketball team captured its first-ever CCCAA State Championship in March and has reached the Elite Final Eight tournament each of the last seven seasons. The program also finished state runner-up in 2004 and 2005. The program won four SCC titles between 1997-2003 and was a co-champion in 2005 and 2007. In 2008-2009, point guard and state tourney MVP Kinyada Johnson smashed the college's career points and assists records. Melia Basavand is the new season/career 3-point baskets record holder after leading the state in long-range baskets. The State Player of the Year has emerged from PCC three times in Jeanine Deno (2006-2007), Dionne Pounds (2004-2005), and Tiana Sanders (1998-1999). Head Coach Joe Peron was named South Coast Conference Women's Coach of the Year for the 2008-2009 sports year.

- In 2009, women's cross country runner Tracee van der Wyk finished 4th at the CCCAA State Meet and placed 3rd at the South Coast Conference Championships, the highest individual placings by a Lancer harrier in the program's history.

- In 2007-2008, Harold Cleveland led the state in scoring and became just the 11th men's player to score 1,000 points in his PCC career. In 2008-2009, Corey Caston set season/career school records for most assists and ChaRunn Jones set the school's new 3-point baskets record for one season.
