CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. - May 9, 2017 - PRLog -- This weekend, when top athletes from the Atlantic Coast Conference vie for conference bragging rights, they'll be doing so on a Mondo track.
Taking place at the George C. Griffin Track & Field Facility on the campus of Georgia Tech University in Atlanta, the ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships will run May 12-14.
"The Mondo surface will give everyone in the ACC Championships an opportunity to have an outstanding performance. This has been proven over and over since we resurfaced our track with Mondo in 1995," said Grover Hinsdale, head men's track coach, Georgia Tech. "We are looking forward to a wonderful ACC championship. It's always one of the highlights of the season, and we anticipate having a great one."
Hinsdale also is pleased with the performance of the Mondo track for training.
"Mondo is not only an outstanding competition track, which it has proven to be, but it's been a fantastic training track, as well," said Hinsdale. "We have minimal amount of lower-leg issues from training on it day to day, and we have been more than pleased with everything about it."
The Mondo track at Georgia Tech was one of the practice tracks in the Olympic Village during the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.
