A brand-new Mondo Sportflex Super X 720 track surface has been installed on the at the Catamount Athletic Complex.
The new surface, which was made in Italy and shipped to the United States in rolls, gives the Catamount track & field programs a state-of-the-art practice and competition surface and could provide an assist in recruiting. The Mondo Sportflex Super X 720 surface replaces the Beynon 1000 System track that encircled the facility since its opening in 2005.
Installation was done by GeoSurfaces out of Mooresville, N.C. and began in December but was slowed by abnormally cool and wet weather during the winter and early spring. The original urethane surface was removed with the asphalt subsurface smoothed and leveled. The new surface was then rolled out and adhered to the asphalt subsurface with a polyurethane adhesive. After all lanes and runways were completed, the final step in the installation process involved lane markings and various lines being painted on the new surface.
