No Where to Run To Baby
Re: No Where to Run To Baby
Westmont is already renting Johnstown's track this season so I'm guessing it would become too congested.

Re: No Where to Run To Baby
Windber went without a track for a number of years prior to currently having two. They were quite successful without a home track. Javelin in the front lawn. Discus and shot in a parking lot. Hurdles and sprinters on the road behind the school. Distance ran through the woods. Get creative people and play with the hand your dealt.
Re: No Where to Run To Baby
Agreed. Windber has always had successful sprint & hurdlers.

My friend coaches at Blacklick Valley and he said they never asked to use Central Cambria's track.

Re: No Where to Run To Baby
Don't know the details of Richland denying McCort the use of the track but I wouldn't necessarily call it petty. How much was McCort willing to pay in rent? Track is not a cheap sport. Track resurfacing done every 10 years costs 200K. Replacing Pole Vault/High Jump mats every 10-15 years is another 30K. Maintenance to jumping and throwing areas? Another cost. So not knowing what McCort was willing to pay for "rent" and knowing what it costs to maintain a track facility let alone liability issues I wouldn't call Richland petty for now allowing McCort to use the track. If it were me charging rent would be at least at least $100/day X 60 days (12 wk season) or $6000.

Did Bishop McCort contact UPJ? They have a nice, little used track.
I know UPJ allows local high schools to use its pool for swim meets. I wonder how much wear and tear these cause on an underused pool?
Thanks for amusing us all, southpaw!
