Wanatah, IN. Tri-Township ceremoniously turned the dirt to celebrate the start of construction on their new athletic field renovation on Monday, October 28th.
“This new track is a symbol of our commitment to our students. It is a space for our community to come together, support each other, and celebrate hard work. Every stride made here reflects the strength of our town and the bright future we are building.” expressed Dr. Pamela Moore, Tri- Township Schools Superintendent.
The project boasts a new modern 6-lane track made from synthetic all-weather materials that will allow their students to compete and practice on a facility that performs better than the previous cinder track. This synthetic surface is safer as it is more slip-resistant- particularly in inclement weather. It also sheds water, dries faster, and provides more cushion and shock absorption, which puts less impact and stress on athletes’ bodies.
In addition to the track, the project also includes new high jump and long jump areas that meet the Porter County Conference (PCC) requirements, allowing the district to host multi-school meets and invitationals. Inside the track will be a natural turf field finished with soccer layout markings, allowing the district to add to its existing athletic offerings.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in July 2025, in time for the start of the 2025-26 school year.
Tri-Township School Corporation serves approximately 300 students in grades Pre-K to 12. Learn more at https://www.tritownship.k12.in.us/.
