“ Over the past few years, track & field has become one of the fastest-growing programs at PCDS, creating a culture of commitment, camaraderie, and competitive excellence. The remarkable growth we’ve achieved while training and competing without a dedicated home track makes the impact of a new facility even more meaningful for our student-athletes and the entire PCDS community.”
