TUCSON, Ariz. — At the beginning of the season, the PCC Track and Field coaching staff told the team they are training for two meets: Regionals and Nationals.

“We’re the champions," PCC Track and Field head coach Chad Harrison said."We’re defending region champions.”“We couldn’t have done it with any other team," PCC pole vaulter Morgan Pepe said.“They’re not afraid of the big stage," Harrison said."They want to be pushed to the national championships. They’re probably kind of bored to be honest because they’re real competitors. We have a lot of good kids on this team.

“It feels amazing," Curtiss said."It’s always nice to be here, especially when Phoenix gets most of the attention for sports and everything. Then I just show out and be the best.” For Nathaniel Curtiss, being the best simply isn’t enough. Heading into Nationals, the freshman has bigger plans.Of course, Curtiss does have to get through the rest of the season first and with nationals next week. PCC is not just looking for a win for the team, but for their city.

“We’re changing Tucson; I like to say we want to have a mecca here," PCC Track Associate Head Coach Al Shirley said."We want to have a dynasty here; we want to build something great here.”Erin Patterson is a reporter for KGUN 9. She's agraduate of the University of Alabama with a Bachelor’s in News Media with a Sports Concentration.
