Three upcoming indoor track meets to take place on Mondo tracks

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Jan. 12, 2017 -- This weekend, three indoor track and field competitions will take place on tracks made by Mondo, the global leader in the track and field, indoor sport and contract flooring markets.

The Arkansas Invitational (opens as PDF) will take place Friday, Jan. 13, on a Mondo Super X Performance surface at the Randal Tyson Track Center on the campus of University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.

On Saturday, Jan. 14, the Champion Fast Track HS Invitational will be contested on a Mondotrack surface at JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, while in Clemson, South Carolina, the Clemson Invitational (opens as PDF) will be held on a new Mondo Super X 720 track.

The track at Clemson is a state-of-the-art banked track designed for high-performance running events. The NCAA Division I university recently installed it, making it the first banked indoor track in South Carolina. Banking allows athletes to safely maximize their speed and performance on the curves instead of decelerating, which they must do on flat surfaces. During the track’s inaugural track meet last weekend, student-athletes set six new facility records.

About Mondo’s Tracks

The world’s top track for more than 30 years, the renowned Mondo Super X Performance track was designed to provide consistent performance throughout its life. Ideal for both training and high-performance competition, the track is renowned for its shock absorption and optimal energy return, and its ideal blend of speed and comfort minimizes the occurrence of injuries.

Mondotrack builds on the success of the company’s renowned Mondo’s Super X Performance track. Designed for superior athletic performance, Mondotrack provides optimal traction and a greater contact area than other tracks which helps athletes achieve faster times compared to running on other surfaces.

Mondo’s Super X 720 track surface combines the backing of Mondotrack and the wear layer of the company’s Super X Performance track, which are vulcanized together to form one continuous, seamless piece of material that delivers exceptional traction, durability, drainage and safety.

More than 260 world records have been set on tracks made by Mondo.
