I was just wondering what new/improved collegiant facilities were out there this year. Indoor and outdoor. This includes anything from an entire new track, to new mats or runways? What's gonna be good/fun to jump on this year? Any school get really spoiled?

Here at the University of Arizona, were getting brand new MONDO runways for our 4 sand pit's and north and south PV pits! I can't wait, I think MONDO makes an extreme difference in the run.

Auburn University just got a new track and new pits. Finally!! Their track was looking so old that I thought my parents could have ran on it-- graduated in 1976.

Mondo on boards is the way to go. If you've ever jumped indoors at UW or on PVJunkie's runway you know what I mean.

we have a mondo outdoor track here and i hate it. yeah its great for meets. but try running on that everyday and tell me how your shins and knees feel. all weather is by far a superior training surface. mondo on conrete is rough. Mondo on raised boards, very cool!!! we have it for our indoor runway and its fast and gives. Best combo ever!!
