2011-12 BRONCO TRACK & FIELD BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY

DONA LARSEN PARK Beginning the 2013 outdoor season, the Bronco track and field program will have a new home. After competing through the 2011 season on the Ed Jacoby Track inside Bronco Stadium, which hosted the 1994 and 1999 NCAA Division I Outdoor Men’s and Women’s Track and Field Championships, the Broncos will move to a brand new track built inside the Dona Larsen Park. The site of the new Dona Larsen Park was originally an athletic field named Cody Park, built in 1911. The Boise School District purchased the land in November of 1924 and renamed it Public School Field. Youth and adults alike would use the field for many noteworthy athletic and community events until 1953 when East Junior High School was constructed on the site.

When Boise Junior College began competing in athletics in 1932, it used Public School Field for its football games and track and field events. In the fall of 1940, the Broncos moved to College Field on the current Boise State campus.

On July 1, 2009, Boise State took possession of the site after a new East Junior High School was built and opened earlier this year just east of Boise.

JACKSONS INDOOR TRACK A major addition to the Boise State track and field program was made in 2002 when the university, along with Jacksons Food Stores in Meridian, Idaho, and the Idaho Center of Nampa, Idaho, combined to create the Jacksons Indoor Track at the Idaho Sports Center.

The facility is located next to the Idaho Center on the east side of Nampa, and about a 20-minute drive from the main Boise State campus. The track is 200-meters long and includes six banked lanes on the oval and an eight lane straight track located in the middle. The track has a Mondo surface which is required by the NCAA and USA Track and Field for sanctioned championship meets. The track is the only championships suitable / world class indoor track facility located in the Pacific Northwest.

Purchase of the track was made possible when John D. Jackson, President of Jacksons Food Stores, made a cash gift of $250,000 to Boise State.

The Idaho Sports Center landed its first national championship in 2005 when it hosted the USA Track and Field National Indoor Masters Championships. The Masters Championships attracted more than 800 male and female athletes ages 40 and over. The facility is also set to host the 2012 NCAA National Indoor Track and Field Championship, the largest meet ever held in the facility.
