WPCNR TRACKSIDE. April 3, 2008: The school district began installation of the Mondo "Olympic Standard" track at the new Loucks Field Wednesday with workmen beginning the process. The district has 34 days to install the track before the Loucks Games begin May 8. Superintendent of Schools Timothy Connors said Monday evening the contractor needs warm (temperatures in the high 40s and 50s) weather to install the track and little rain. Work can proceed as long as there is no rain, he said, and surfaces need not be dry to resume installation after any rain has stopped. The track portion of the new stadium renovation is the final phase in the $5 Million field project, which is said to be on budget, despite most of the money built into the budget for contingency expenses.
