K-State praises Mondo surface as ideal for both competition and training, and a great benefit to their program
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - illiNews -- Kansas State University has chosen Mondo as the track for its new Indoor Track and Field Complex.
The new 200-meter, 6-lane oval, permanent banked track at K-State will feature Mondo's Super X 720 surface, which provides the optimal blend of energy return, comfort, safety and durability for everything from daily training to the toughest competitions.
An 8-lane sprint straightaway, a pole vault lane, two long jump/triple jump lanes, throw areas, a four-lane warm-up straightaway and some non-competition areas around the track also will be Mondo's Super X 720 surface. The competition surfaces, as well as the warm-up lanes, will be in a shade of purple Mondo custom created for the NCAA Division I university.
"Our new Indoor Track and Field Complex will be one of the top training and competition facilities in the country, and a big part of that will be the installation of the state-of-art Mondo surface," said Gene Taylor, athletic director at K-State. "Our athletes will train and compete on the same type of track that was used at the latest Olympic games, and providing a world-class surface will greatly benefit our program."
Cliff Rovelto, legendary track coach and director of Track & Field and Cross Country at K-State, said they are looking forward to getting their new Mondo banked track, and that their athletes will appreciate that they can train safely at a high level on a quality surface.
"With Mondo, you can have a track that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but wears well, lets you perform at a high level for competitions and is great for training," said Rovelto. "Being able to train safely and comfortably as much as our athletes train is very important to us, as well as to our athletes, and having a quality banked track in a quality facility will be appealing to prospective student-athletes. Plus, because of how they are made, Mondo tracks have a consistent surface throughout."
