Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium track

An eight-lane, 400-meter BSS 1000 polyurethane track was installed prior to the 2007 season. The track incorporates wider turns, dual runways for the jumping events as well as a two-way pole vault runway.

The track features an energy-return system to produce faster times but less stress on joints so it is ideal for daily training.

Adjacent to the stadium, the college recently installed new shot put and discus rings, a new hammer throw cage and javelin staging area.
