... and the east endzone.
Improvements are being made to the long jump runway and pit, located behind the Wabash sideline. The construction crew remarked that this is the largest long jump landing pit they have ever installed.
The east side of the runway leads to the triple jump landing pit, pictured above.
These silver sheets of metal will serve as covers for the long jump landing pit. They will be coated with a material similar to the track surface. The black plastic mats will cover the metal drains that surround the pit.
This hole was hollowed out for the foundation of the new scoreboard. The protruding wires will power the scoreboard, set to arrive July 21st.

Workers have began to pour gravel in the west endzone. The entire field will need to be covered with a base layer of gravel before the turf can be laid.
Shifting over to the baseball field, work on the storm sewers has begun. This manhole sits beyond the centerfield wall.
This trench creates almost a direct line from the centerfield wall to the second base area.
Work will continue on the baseball field as the crew prepares for the September 1st delivery of sod for the infield.
