Cypress College

This photo is facing north. The rest of these pictures will document why this is a Bottom 10 track.

This (blue paint in red circles) is all that remains of the end of the 4x400 passing zone line.

This (white paint in red circles) is all that remains of the end of the Finish line.

These are the kind of cracks that are all over the track.

On the home stretch, this is all the lane lines that remain visible.

They originally had a 10 lane straightaway. Obviously they partially resurfaced (just a layer of asphalt on the circular track section) and did not paint lines afterward.

The layer of asphalt didn't fill in the cracks.

This still is a rather soft track. There is a large amount of rubber to its content. The flakes of rubber that I complained about have been reduced. Aparently the loose chips were swept up.

In the sweeping process (possibly natural sweeping), much of the rubber became imbedded in the dirt, turning it black adjacent to the track. Notice the old style (imperial) track marking disks. This track has been here a while.
