CHAMPIONSHIPS

FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS

Originally built by Mondo for the World Championships in Toronto, Canada the Tyson track first became available for Arkansas athletic use in 2000. Since the opening of the center, Arkansas has hosted seven SEC Championships and 13 NCAA Championships at the facility. In its first year of operation, the $8 million facility hosted the Tyson Invitational, a meet on the Golden Spike Tour, the 2000 Southeastern Conference Championships and the 2000 NCAA Indoor Championships. In 2001 and 2002, the Randal Tyson Track Center once again served as the host for the Golden Spike Tour's Tyson Invitational and the NCAA Indoor Championships. In a re-dedication ceremony held Feb. 12, 2011, during the 2011 Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, the Randal Tyson Track Center was recognized as "The Home of the Fastest Indoor Track in the World." The Razorbacks' home indoor track was resurfaced prior to the start of the 2011 track and field season. Known for its sharp incline, the 200-meter track has been home to several NCAA, American and World records including the current men's 400-meter record of 44.57 ran by Kerron Clement in March 2005. Five out of the 10 best indoor 200-meter dash performances were also secured on the surface. The Randal Tyson Track Center is the current home of 17 collegiate records, 12 American records and four world records. Most recently, American records were reset in Fayetteville in the men's two-mile run by Galen Rupp and in the women's shot put by Jill Camarena-Williams during the 2012 USA Track & Field Classic. The meet was part of the prestigious USATF Indoor Visa Championship Series. A new 36x20 custom video scoreboard system by Daktronics was installed in time for the 2005 NCAA Championships. It features a 23x13 video display screen with instant replay, electronic timing and scoring capabilities. The track itself is a 200-meter, 60-degree banked track that has 55-meter straightways running the entire length of the facility. It also includes men's and women's jumping runways and pits. The surface of the track is red and gray Mondo and was repainted in 2003. With all of the big name events that are held in the facility, the Tyson Track Center was built to handle the demands for the many media outlets. The press box is two-tiered offering 50 seats and has an announcer's booth. There are four elevated camera positions located around the track. A media room is also available in the north concourse.

Each student-athlete eligible to participate in and travel to an SEC Championship Event (as designated by the head coach on the SEC Championship Eligibility List signed prior to the event) will receive a championship participation gift from the Southeastern Conference. If an institution wishes to purchase additional gifts for student-athletes who are eligible to participate per NCAA/SEC rules, but not permitted to travel per SEC rules, may do so provided additional gifts are available. (NOTE: Additional gifts purchased by the institution may be at a higher cost than that made available to the SEC.) The student-athlete gift coordinator at the SEC Office is Jordan Chestnut (jchestnut@; 205.458.3000).
