King Track & Field Stadium

Work began in Summer 2012 to replace the competition track. The new outdoor track improves the ability of the men’s and women’s track teams to train and will enhance recruiting opportunities. In addition, the new track is available to all students for fitness training.

In 2012, the track was named in honor of long-time coach and alum Tom King.

Here are some facts about the outdoor track:

• Located directly north of the Merillat Complex around perimeter of soccer field
• Eight-lane track
• Long jump and triple jump pit
• High jump area
• Steeplechase hurdle
• Throwing area
