History:
Wichita State University dedicated its track and field facility, the 30,000-seat Cessna Stadium, April 16, 2002 to mark the end of the seven-month, $1.3 million construction that included adding an eighth lane and resurfacing the track, reconfiguring the infield event layout, and building separate locker rooms for the Shocker men's and women's track and field teams.
"This is one of the most significant construction developments on our campus for many years," said Jim Schaus, WSU director of athletics. "It will be one of the finest track complexes in the country. The new track will provide a better venue for WSU Track and Field, Kansas State High School Track Championships, Kansas Special Olympics and may other meets in the future. It will also provide a better recreational facility for our campus and community. Many thanks to our supporters who made this long-standing dream a reality."
