An official groundbreaking ceremony occurred at the new outdoor track at Titan Stadium April 26.

UW Oshkosh Assistant Chancellor of Athletics Darryl Sims and Assistant Athletic Director/Senior Women Administrator Abby Gildernick were joined by head track & field coach Justin Kinseth, track and field student-athletes Londyn Little and Megan Hunt, UWO Chancellor Andrew Leavitt and representatives from the Oshkosh Student Government at the ceremony.

The UWO track and field teams have been without a home outdoor facility since 2014, when Oshkosh hosted the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships and the UW-Oshkosh NCAA Qualifier.

The project, designed by the Rettler Corporation and contracted by Millbach Construction, is scheduled to wrap up in late summer. It includes a nine-lane track with two jump pits, two high jump aprons and a dual-direction pole vault lane with two throwing rings situated on the north end of the facility.
