Bethel Uni­ver­sity is Build­ing a Track Fa­cil­ity

Mishawaka— Bethel Uni­ver­sity is build­ing a new track fa­cil­ity. The ded­i­cated fa­cil­ity will al­low stu­dent-ath­letes to prac­tice for their sport.

One of the prob­lems some ath­letic teams face cur­rently, is hav­ing to fight for times to prac­tice in the Wiekamp Ath­letic Cen­ter's two gyms.

While the new fa­cil­ity is be­ing built for the track and field teams, other teams will be able to use the fa­cil­ity, too. 

“Through all the meet­ings I have been at, the ul­ti­mate goal is to di­rectly and in­di­rectly help as many Bethel Uni­ver­sity stu­dents as pos­si­ble,” said Danny Wilk­er­son, head track and field coach. “Rather it be from di­rect use or by free­ing up time in the cur­rent fa­cil­i­ties so that more stu­dents have place to train, work­out and be ac­tive.” 

More in­for­ma­tion will be re­leased in mid-No­vem­ber af­ter the next com­mit­tee meet­ing.
