The men's and women's track and field programs will have an entirely new outdoor facility when Harold Alfond Stadium opens in September 2008. The 400-meter all-weather track has been rebuilt and there will now be a separate area for the long and triple jump slightly away from the track. A new discus and hammer cage is in place and there will be separate areas for shot put and javelin competition. New fencing and landscaping will complete the project. The new synthetic turf field can also be used by the football, soccer, and lacrosse teams. The installation of modern, efficient stadium lighting will make evening practices and meets possible. Scoreboards and timing equipment also have been updated. Colby's track and field teams will have one of the top collegiate track and field facilities in New England. Construction Photos:
