Outdoor track and field construction’s on track

Three months after breaking ground on the new outdoor track and field complex just south of the Chicoine Center, CSC Athletic Director Joel Smith said the project is continuing as planned without major interruptions. 

“I think by the end of October we’ll have it substantially completed with some other things that we need to kind of put on at a later date,” Smith said. 

According to the CSC Sports Information office, the $1.8 million project had an original timetable of about six months. That rough estimate put the completion at about November. There are no plans for CSC to host an outdoor meet during the upcoming outdoor track and field season, which begins in March 2020. 

CSC Sports Information Director Kaleb Center said last week that the college is now part of the rotation for campuses hosting the RMAC Outdoor Championships. He added that he expects CSC will host the event in 2024.
