Our indoor facility is one of the finest in the Great Lakes region. The $19 million
Dyson Baudo Recreation Center was the focus in a June 2004 “Architectural Showcase” article of the Athletic Business magazine. The track is a six-lane (36”-oval), eight-lane (42”-straight) Mondo surface. High jump and long jump are also on Mondo Sportflex surface and the throwing circles are made of wood. Pole vault is on a roll-out runway.

Our newly renovated outdoor facility has been designed strictly by NCAA guidelines and served as the host facility of the 2009 NCAA Division III Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Championship. The multi-purpose facility’s infield is Field Turf. The track, runways and jumping surfaces, are 12mm structural coated polyurethane surface. There are two parallel off-set long jump runways and two pole vault runways. Two shot put rings on the inside of the stadium with a warm-up ring outside of the stadium. There are two throwing rings, one is a discus ring on the field south of the track and the other is a discus/hammer cage outside the stadium. The javelin is contested on the competition soccer field across the street from the stadium on a 125’ polyurethane runway. The high jump surface is a half-moon polyurethane surface inside the south turn. All events are contested within 100m of the stadium. The track is also lined to opposite direction in the sprint races as well.
