Kentucky Wesleyan College in a partnership with Owensboro Public Schools and Owensboro Health have announced plans for a state of the art track and field facility for intercollegiate and interscholastic use.

The scematic plan includes a synthetic track surface, steeplechase pit, long jump/triple jump runways, javelin area, pole vault, and shot put/hammer throw/discus areas. The facility will be located on South Griffith Avenue between the Owensboro Middle School North and South campuses. It will be called the Owensboro Health Track and Field Complex.

Both Owensboro High School and KWC will use the facility to host home meets, as well as KHSAA, GMAC, and NCAA Division II championship events. It will also be used to promote wellness activities throughout the region.

A timeline on when the facility will be completed is still coming together.
