1956, 1957 & 1960 NJCAA National Tournament Basketball Teams (Outstanding Team): Inducted as a group, the 1956, 1957 and 1960 NJCAA National Tournament basketball teams at Pueblo Junior College finished 6th, 3rd and 8th in the nation, respectively, laying the ground work for the eventual NJCAA national championship squad in 1961. After breaking ground with a 24-7 season in 1956, the 31-7 1957 squad finished within a hair of the national title game, a loss to San Angelo (Tex.) College keeping the squad from a championship. In 1960, PJC's 28-5 campaign ended prematurely, as well, though four members of the team would be on the national title team the next season. All three teams were coached by Harry Simmons.
