Jerry Proctor "Jump" T-Shirt
Jerry gained recognition in the track and field world during his junior season, and in his senior year, he cemented his legacy in history.
Jerry was named the 1967 Track and Field News Athlete of the Year, and just two months later, in Bakersfield, California, Jerry won the AAU championship.
Proctor went on to the University of Redlands, where he continued to excel.
A hamstring injury caused him to finish fourth in the 1968 Olympic trials.
A few weeks later, Jerry won the NCAA championship.
Skip Robinson "All-American" T-Shirt
In 1966, Robinson was first a JC All-American at defensive back, helping the Lancers win the Western State Conference championship and reach the Junior Rose Bowl that year.
After playing at the University of Southern California (earning both his bachelor's and master's degrees there), he took a job as an assistant football coach at PCC and served on a staff that won the 1972 and '74 Metropolitan Conference titles and captured the JC Grid-Wire regular season national champion crowns in both seasons.
Robinson became PCC's first black head coach in athletics when he took over the Lancers men's track and field program in 1974, directing state championship teams in 1978 and 1984 (also a first for a black coach at the community college level).
Darlene Anderson "Skate" T-Shirt
Darlene was born and raised in Pasadena, California. As one of 5 siblings, and with 3 of those siblings being older brothers, she was always quite comfortable in all athletic endeavours. While her mother was against her playing any “rough sports,” her father was more lenient, taking a “just don’t tell mom” approach to any of those “rough sports” Darlene felt inclined to play. In 1956, Roller Derby found its way into Darlene’s 16-year-old life. Four different friends, at four different points in junior high and then high school, told her about this previously unheard of sport. The first was Joan Gregory from her junior high. Darlene recalls the conversation: “Joan said, ‘Darlene, I have the sport for you! I’m too tall and have bad knees, but I have the sport for you… Roller Derby!’ I had never heard of it, never seen it, and matter of fact, never saw Joan again. It went in one ear and out the other. You know, Roller Derby, what’s that?”
