Plans are being developed for the construction of a practice track area behind New Haven High School. It would be a full-sized chat track, suitable for practice.

High School Principal Tim Stroebel has been working on getting donations to build the track, which is estimated to cost $12,000 to $14,000. They still wouldn’t be able to hold track meets, but at least, for the first time, they would have a full-size area on which to practice.

New Haven School Superintendent Kyle Kruse commented that, “New Haven has a state track title and no track.”
