Facilities update: Give us an inch …

It has the feel of a tunnel; it’s just a big hallway, really. But we’ll take whatever we can get.

In the new McCann Arena, there is an odd patch of unused space behind one section of the student bleachers on the north end of the building. It’s a little more than 8 feet wide – a nice big lane!

We put our heads together and determined that this just might be a good place for our sprinters to practice their block starts, and maybe an area for our horizontal jumpers to practice by jumping into their mats. We will roll out our bulky, black portable runway mat, spike up and have at it.

It’s enclosed; it’s tiny; but it should work! Give us an inch … and we’ll use it.
