• New pole vault runway - Located outside the north end trackbut spectator friendly w/ bleachers for spectators but also viewable from both sides of the stadium.
• New Shot-Put Sector (65ft long w/ concrete curbs) located outside west side of track w/ bleachers for spectators and benches for competitors.
• Completely rubberized D-Ring on south end for high jump allows for full approach on uniform competition surface for all performance levels - Bleachers for spectators will be on the outside of the track at that end of facility.
• New discus cage on the infield - viewable from anywhere you sit in the stadium.
