Fredonia High School Athletic Director Brian Smith said the school started demolition on a new track surface in late May. The project was nearly over just as quickly as it started. 

“Due to weather delays, leveling of the surface began in late June. The final pours were completed in early August and the striping of the track was completed in late September. Start to finish it was 3.5 months. Many weather delays, but overall, very pleased with the project and our students and community will enjoy this surface for many years,” said Smith. 

Hellas Construction installed a two-lift system epiQ Tracks Q3000 with a gold surface and black exchange lanes. They also constructed a new 120-foot javelin runway with the same material. From start to finish, Smith had a hand in everything and said the crew at Hellas was great to work with. 

“Our sales rep, Michele Kuhns, worked with us on the design and presented the project to our Board of Education. The installation crew headed by Jose Torres Jr. was very knowledgeable and made the whole process from start to finish easy. David Shaheen, the project superintendent kept us informed of any issues and potential delays. The frequency of the communication was amazing. Hellas will be highly recommended by our district,” said Smith.
