Army's Shea Stadium outdoor track and field facility ranks as one of the finest in the East. In the summer of 1998 a brand new eight-lane Martin track surface was installed, with bounce a major consideration. "The early reviews from fall usage have been fabulous," says head coach Jerry Quiller. "The runners really like the cushion and the sprinters are psyched about their fast times." With six long jump/triple jump runways, four pole vault runways, two shot put sectors and two Olympic discus/hammer throw venues, Army will not only be able to host the largest of meets, but will have the added benefit of more productive practices with little conflict. A new state-of-the-art timing system allows the Cadets to run either direction on the track and have photo finishes.
