Kent State President Todd Diacon, Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Nathan Fanger and Vice President, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Randale Richmond cut the ribbon on the newly installed running track at the Kent State University Field House.
The track replacement project began in May 2023 and was completed in September 2023. The asphalt below the track was also resurfaced to ensure the base layer would be level. The high-tech, athletic track surface is ideal for facilities dedicated to both competition and training because it is designed to deliver athletes the perfect combination of shock absorption, vertical deformation and energy return.
