From the article:
That means the new track will be faster, and it will have a lot less potential for causing injuries because there will be less torsion on the legs of those who run there. The surface (Mondo) will be the fastest in the world.
"Minus the elevation, it would be the best indoor facility in the country," Wetmore said. "We can't do anything about the fact that it's at a mile high of elevation, but it'll be very fast for the 200, the 400, the 4x4, the 800."
CU track coaches are scheduled to move their offices from Balch into the new facility in August, and it's likely the track will be finished in time for CU's annual indoor meet (the Potts Indoor Invitational) in January.
