USD 298 has big news from Mettner Field! The new track has been poured and it is amazing!
Solid Rock Construction did the work, showing much appreciated dedication to making certain it was exactly the way it should be. Under the 674 square yards of concrete used to pave the track are 22,000 ties at each intersection of rebar and1,800 stakes holding the forms in place!
The track is level within one inch around the inside and outside forms with a 1% grade from inside to outside. There is still work to be done to finish up and the track has to cure before the rubber can be installed. Remember the track is still closed for construction as they remove forms, finish the high jump pits, and do a lot dirt work.
