They replaced the old rubber asphalt with a new AW surface and converted it from Imperial to metric--with the tell tale extra lane in the first turn (see also Clovis West, Mt.

This is so markedly improved it has been removed from the worst tracks list entirely. |

The western Pole Vault and Long Jump runways are inside the original curb for the long chute, possibly a full straightaway 220y. They used the original curb except on the east turn near the high jump, when the curb (shortening a previous imperial track) was replaced with a drain. Lots of the markings on the track, many in strange colors, are now faded and hard to see. Southwestern Eurotan |

There are actually two tracks at this location, this one is the main stadium, was used for the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Trials and the 2003 NCAA Championships. This one used the two toned mondo surface to define the relay passing zones. There are 9 lanes from the 200 start area to the common finish--at this big budget facility I don't know what logic prevented them from finishing the 9th lane the rest of the way around the track. On the south end of the infield is an astroturf area that curiously has no curb--I would think that would negate the big time records set here. Mondo |
