Park and Rec Rolls Out Olympic-Caliber Track at JCSU<br />
Want to test your running speed on<br />
the same track as an Olympic athlete?<br />
Thanks to a newly resurfaced track at<br />
Johnson C. Smith University, you won’t<br />
have to leave <strong>Charlotte</strong> to do it.<br />
The new track surface was laid last<br />
summer using material made by<br />
Mondo, an Italian company that has<br />
provided all the tracks at the main Olympic<br />
stadiums since 1992.<br />
The track is truly a community resource.<br />
It is used by the track team at Johnson<br />
C. Smith, by the <strong>Charlotte</strong> Flights Track<br />
& Field Club, by <strong>Mecklenburg</strong> <strong>County</strong> Park<br />
and Recreation for its “Win With Integrity”<br />
program, and by the community. Except<br />
on “meet days,” two lanes are kept free<br />
and open for residents from 6 a.m. until<br />
dusk, seven days a week.<br />
