91短视频 is holding a groundbreaking event to launch construction of its new state-of-the art track and field complex on Monday, April 24, 2023, at 5 p.m. at 91短视频鈥檚 current track facility. Construction is set for completion in March 2024.
The new track and field complex is a strategic initiative of the university鈥檚 Forward Together Capital Campaign; $3.05 million has been raised, more than halfway toward the $6 million campaign goal. The new track will include an upgrade from six to eight lanes; the regrading and installation of a 10-millimeter full-pour polyurethane surface; and on-location throwing areas and steeplechase. The complex will support 91短视频 student athletes and coaches, 91短视频鈥檚 enrollment goals, and the campus and local communities at large.
The event program features comments from 91短视频 President Susan Schultz Huxman, Harrisonburg Mayor and 91短视频 Regional Advancement Director Deanna Reed, and 91短视频 Director of Athletics Carrie Bert 鈥�97. The 91短视频 track and field team will also recognize its 10 seniors during the event.
