Out With The Old, In With The New from Mustang Morning News on Vimeo.
This summer, Mira Costa celebrated the opening of a new track. This track was a 270,000 dollar project that was funded by MBX and other sponsors;including, the Manhattan 10K Committee. MBX is an important part of our athletics program at Mira Costa. They raised the money to fund the track, through their summer school and after-school programs. The old track, constructed in 2002, had a missing layer that was detrimental to runners. It was often that athletes had shin splints, which is by definition: an acute pain in the shin and lower leg caused by prolonged running, typically on hard surfaces. The layer that was missing made the track harder than normal tracks are made to be. The new track features that layer, that makes it more bouncy to run on.
