This petition is for a new Hockaday track. The current track has been giving several runners injuries. The lack of padding and the brittle edges have made running on the track painful to run on. Also the distance markers are incorrect. A new track can lead to less injuries, which leads to more runners who can train, which leads to better workouts, which leads to another SPC Championship!

The athletic department thinks we will just quietly accept these recurring injuries and keep running on this crumbling surface. I am tired of seeing my teammates sidelined by their cheapness so I am taking our demands to the board this week.

The school board can no longer pretend this track is safe while we keep piling up injuries. This momentum proves the administration is ignoring a massive problem that puts every athlete at risk. We are coming for that SPC Championship and we will not be sidelined by their negligence any longer.

So many shin splints this season. Do better for the athletes.

Fix the markers at least. How are we supposed to track our splits when the math is just wrong???

My legs are killing me every time I run on this thing. We really need a resurfacing before someone gets a stress fracture.

SPC champs deserve a pro track. It's embarrassing to host track meets on this surface tbh.

The edges are super dangerous. I tripped on a chunk of asphalt last week. It's time for an upgrade.
