Looking for pits in or near Iowa.
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2004 8:16 pm
Hey all,
Iowa Central Community College has just started a track program. The vault was not in the works at the beginning, but due to the perserverence of the Head Coach, Dee Brown, it appears they will now carry the vault.
However, they have no pits to practice with, and since Iowa has no High School Vault the chance of getting some is rather slim. They are not looking for competition pits, just something to get up in the air on for some practice. Old high school pits that do not fit the new standard would be great, they are willing to put down extra mats and such.
If anyone might know of some pits in or near to Iowa that could be obtained for a reasonable price, or possibly donated, it would go a long ways towards a successful program there in Fort Dodge.
With programs being shut down here and there, it's nice to see track and field program starting up.
Here is the contact information for head coach Dee Brown.
