 THE MEET

The Kennesaw State men's track and field team will head to Jacksonville, Florida to compete in the 2015 Outdoor Atlantic Sun Championships. The men will be trying to win their third championship in a row.

HODGES STADIUM

After the installation of seating in the existing stands, a completed press box and field/track lighting during 2007, the final phase of construction was completed in August 2008 with the installation of the 9-lane Olympic quality track with Mondotrack SX surface. The track has full markings for all NCAA and IAAF events, including the ability to run directional events in either direction on either straight. All field event areas are within the stadium, including 4 horizontal jump pits, 8 pole vault locations, and multiple areas for each throwing event. To round out the package, the facility includes a full 400m, 3-lane warm-up track and brand new IAAF certified equipment provided by UCS.
 
The facility joined an exclusive club when it became one of 7 facilities in the U.S. to receive IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) certification in December of 2008. It is currently certified as a Class II facility though it is built to Class I standards.
