AU track surface receives another facelift

May 26th, 2011


Tracksurface_webFor the first time in 13 years, the Anderson University track surface at Macholtz Stadium will be replaced.

The project has already started and is expected to be completed by June 20. The last time the track was resurfaced was in 1998 and it will be replaced with 1/2 inch Black SPEED-FLEX L 500 rubber.

SPEED-FLEX is a carboxylated styrene butadiene (SBR) latex running track surface consisting of multiple layers of rubber particles broadcast over a pervious or impervious base. Each layer of rubber shall be bound with a latex bunder. The result is an economical, seamless, self-sealing all-weather surface.

Macholtz Stadium has been the home to Anderson University football and track and field events since 1978 and has undergone several resurfaces over the 33 years of its existence in hosting intercollegiate events. It was also where the Indianapolis Colts held several practices during their tenure on campus from 1984-98 and 2010.

Freshman Emily Radke led the Ravens with a pair of victories as she won both the discus (37.57) and shot put (40-6 1/4). Her distance in the shot put was third best in school history and her toss in the discus is ninth best.

Top five finishers for the Ravens were Friske in the 200 meters (3rd, 27.30) and high jump (4th, 5-1 3/4), DeLong in the 5,000 meters (3rd, 19:17.10), Amanda Spear in the javelin (4th, 99-8) and Sarah Bromagem in the 800 meters (4th, 2:25.23).
