JDL Fast Track is quickly becoming one of the premier indoor track and field facilities in the southeast. To date, we have hosted three national championships: 2014 NCAA Division II, 2015 NCAA Division III and 2015 USATF Masters Indoor National Championship. In 2016, JDL Fast Track will serve as the host for the NJCAA Indoor T&F Championships.
The dedicated indoor track and field facility, which opened in January 2012, houses a 200-meter oval track with a Mondotrack FTX surface—the same surface that was used at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Field event areas include two pole vault runways, two long/triple jump runways, one high jump apron and one throws area.
