Build the Ridge High School Track
Sign Now
Recently, we have been informed that the Ridge High School Track will not be finished, until possibly April. The reason we were given is because the contractor's felt it was too cold to do the work. The track surface was removed in late August/early September and what remains is a sub surface of uneven asphalt. The condition of the track is in no way conducive for any serious running and potentially harmful for anyone who would use it for running. The timing of the proposed finish date is significantly inappropriate. Why you ask? Because Ridge HS has a very large participation from it's student body for its track team. In fact the boy's and girl's track team is the largest athletic team that Ridge HS fields. There are over 100 students that participate in Track & Field. And now these students will not be able to practice or compete on their track during the main part of their season. How unreasonable is this? I don't think another sport's playing surface would be removed and not replaced prior to it's season. This is unfair to the students who participate in track & field.

Somthing needs to be done. There are over 100 students at Ridge High School who love competing in Track and Field and the opportunity to do so cannot be taken away from us.

I'm not on Track but I still believe they should make an effort to complete the track by a more reasonable date.

We really need this track. The winter track and spring track seasons are huge, and without the track we won't be able to properly practice.

The track needs to be put in before our season starts because it is only going to hurt our legs for the meets

Please take the time and means to repave the track, or at least provide another area where the team can practice.
