In the summer of 2011, the track infield received a turf surface, as well as other improvements. The track was also redone, in 2014 to include a new layout for field events, as well as a new grandstand and press box. The facility was the host site of the 2015 MIAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, as well as many other NAIA, youth, AAU and high school competitions.

Mary was a prolific and talented thrower throughout her career, earning 74 Gold, 30 Silver and 8 bronze at USATF Nationals including 18 US records. With 13 #1 World rankings between 2005-2020, she won at WMA 3 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze across all throwing events. She greeted everyone at meets with a smile and she was less impressed by her own athletic accomplishments but was thrilled for you when speaking of yours. Gracious, big-hearted, she was a friend for life of all she touched. Unfortunately, we lost Mary to Covid in the early 2000’s, but she lives on in all our memories.
