The North Dakota State track and field team installed Z5000 epiQ Tracks surface for the 2022 outdoor season.
The Bison have won 12 straight women’s outdoor track Summit League titles and 10 straight men’s outdoor track Summit League titles.
Schlanser Track will feature a green track with gold exchange zones. The Z5000 is an Olympic quality, World Athletics certified track system that has all-encompassing superiority of cushion, control, energy return, and performance, perfect for major venues. It’s eco-friendly, poured-in-place in multi-layers, resulting in a resilient, all-weather surface resistant to the elements.
World Athletics was founded to fulfill the need for a world governing authority, for a competition program, for standardized technical equipment and for a list of official world records.
“The NDSU Athletic Dept. is committed to excellence for its student athletes,” said Michelle Kuhns, Hellas Regional Vice President. “In one of the most difficult years for most people, the NDSU community rallied to reach the donation goals for the project. This is commitment by all involved with NDSU. Working with NDSU is an honor and I am very excited to see this amazing facility complete.”
North Dakota State will join 10 other Division I programs who have track surfaces manufactured and installed by Hellas Construction.
