Just in time for NCAA and ACC to ban any sanctioned events for any reason they desire.

Dang, just reading about this track makes me feel like I could run the 400 meter in under 60 seconds.?? But on a serious note, what is the 400 meter record in 2016?

At the end of the day fast is fast no matter what surface you run on.

Yep, but a fast track allows you to recruit the best athletes because they know they'll have a chance to set records. Also makes some of the best teams in the country want to come to you to compete for the same reason.

Exactly. So glad to hear we are doing this. Best is the standard around here. I used to high jump in Littlejohn, and it was less than ideal but on par with other facilities at the time. Those days are over and if you want national champions you need to get them top notch facilities. Think about it - elite athletes from across the globe want a top notch facility to train outdoors (Clemson about 80% of the time - T storms, too hot occasionally) and a top notch facility for the other times as well. Warm up outside, then come into air conditioning and run a crazy 400.
Of course I know I am biased
Go Tigers!

Paid for by student tickets? Had to say it

"Best is standard" is a nice marketing phrase but everything needs to make financial sense. We want America to be great but know that unlimited government spending is neither smart or feasible. The same could be said about Clemson athletics/academics. Just something to keep in mind.

Anyway this seems like a good investment because I doubt it's very expensive. I was afraid we were building a whole new facility at first.
