MARIETTA, Ohio — Marietta College's Dyson Baudo Recreation Center will be the site of the 2010 Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Indoor Track and Field Championship when the league's 10 schools compete in 38 events over a two-day period Feb. 26-27.
2010 will mark the second time in six years that the OAC Indoor Championship will be contested at Marietta, as the Pioneers first hosted the event in 2005.
About the Facility
In 2003, the Dyson Baudo Recreation Center opened on the Marietta College campus. The five-year, 19 million-dollar project established a wellness facility to host varsity, intramural and personal athletic activities in the renovated 54,000 square-foot Ban Johnson Arena and a newly constructed 84,000 square-foot fieldhouse. The DBRC contains an indoor track that encircles four multipurpose courts, a crew training facility, a fitness center, two racquetball courts, a wheelchair-accessible weight room, a multipurpose room and a two-story climbing wall. Varsity athletes and recreational walkers travel countless miles on the six-lane, two-hundred meter indoor track. Made of Mondo, the same surface used at the Olympic Games. The facility commonly hosts indoor collegiate and high school track & field meets, as well as a wide variety of sports camps.
