Cross Country Course Starting Line

The Westminster men’s and women’s track & field programs compete at the newly-renovated Harold Burry Stadium. The stadium has new lighting, pedestrian walkway and entrance plaza, and FieldTurf surface new for 2008-09. The eight-lane, all-weather track surface was installed during the 2002 season thanks to a $500,000 gift from the Hoyt Foundation in New Castle, Pa. The track complex also includes a steeplechase pit, jumping pits, high jump and pole vault areas, and throwing areas for field events. The cross country course loops around the scenic Westminster campus that includes Brittain Lake.
