The Nebraska Track & Field/Cross Country page reposted the update with their own caption: “Raising the bar in everything we do.”Meanwhile, the track and field athletes of one of Nebraska Huskers’ biggest athletic rivals, Wisconsin, have run into serious issues. Wisconsin demolished its 68-year-old indoor track and field facility, Camp Randall Sports Center. The university is set to build a new, state-of-the-art facility in place of the old facility. However, athletes have faced troubles after the demolition of The Shell.“We have known for years it was going to get torn down,” said pole vaulter Julia Moore. “And with years to plan, how are we left with nothing?” said the senior athlete. While Wisconsin planned to provide athletes with an indoor space to train during the fall, a last-minute mishap derailed those plans.Wisconsin Badgers track and field director Mick Byrne said that the deal to provide an interim training facility “fell through at the 11th hour.” The Badgers plan to spend $11 million to construct a brand-new indoor facility. However, there’s little chance that the new facility will be constructed before 2026. Meanwhile, the Nebraska Huskers plan to get everything operational in less than a year.What’s Nebraska adding in the second phase?The Nebraska Huskers have big plans for the under-constriction facility. The second-phase upgrades include permanent bleacher seating for 2,000 fans and several other facilities related to hosting meets at the complex.
