Tom Samuels Track Eastern Kentucky University installed a Mondo Super X rubber track at its Tom Samuels Track in the summer of 2008 . The new surface replaced an eight-year-old urethane track . Tom Samuels Track, named in honor of the former EKU football and track and field coach, was dedicated in 1976. Each June, the track hosts the Kentucky Special Olympics State Summer Games’ track and field events, and in May 2009 it was the site for the Ohio Valley Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships . Mondo’s Super X track has been the world’s top track for more than 30 years . Globally recognized as the fastest, most durable and environmen-tally safest track available, Mondo’s Super X track has been used in the past eight Olympic Games, including the 2008 Beijing Olympics . “Many of our athletes have achieved faster times on Mondo tracks, and we want to provide them with the track that will help them reach top speeds,” head coach Rick Erdmann said . “Mondo’s rubber surface has a longer lifespan than urethane tracks, and we were impressed that Mondo was chosen for the Olympics . That is a testament to the track’s perfor-mance and quality .”

Developed to maintain its initial physical properties over its life, Super X provides consistent performance . The vulcanized natural rubber surface provides maximum elasticity and unparalleled durability, and its embossed, textured finish makes it extremely easy to maintain with no resurfacing required . This high-performance track is renowned for its shock absorption and optimal energy return, and an ideal blend of speed and comfort minimizes the occurrence of injuries . More than 1,100 Mondo Super X tracks have been installed globally, and more than 220 world records and countless national and personal best records have been set on Mondo Super X tracks . EKU’s Mondo Super X track is the only one of its kind in the state of Kentucky, and it features a brand new Daktronics results board and a newly renovated disk/hammer ring .

Cross Country FacilitiesThe EKU cross country team is blessed with the Wood Chip Trail for

practice and competition . A beautiful, winding one-mile loop, the Wood Chip Trail is located near the Stratton Building and the police training fa-cilities on the southeast portion of campus. The trail was finished in 2005. The EKU cross country team hosts its annual relay meet at the Wood Chip Trail every year in September .

For training purposes, the cross country team uses a 5,000-meter grass course located on campus near the Wood Chip Trail . The course is prime for distance training as it features numerous rolling hills . It is also a very attractive course that boasts four wooden bridges and several tree-lined stretches while, at one point, weaving around a pond .

“We are very lucky to have two cross country training facilites right here on campus,” head coach Rick Erdmann said . “Our cross country student-athletes benefit not only from the quality but from the proximity of these trails .”
