CROSS COUNTRY/TRACK & FIELD - Huntsman Outdoor Track &
Knowling Fieldhouse

Wabash track and field athletes enjoy the comfort of the Knowling Fieldhouse during the indoor season. The one-year-old facility features a 200-meter, six-lane indoor track, enclosed long jump and triple jump pits, and an automatic timing system. Wabash hosted its first indoor meet last season, and will host two more this year.

Once the season moves outside, the J. Owen Huntsman Outdoor Track is the home of the Wabash Relays, a 46-year track and field tradition at Wabash College. Completely resurfaced last year, the track is an eight-lane, seal flex surface that’s hosted conference and Little State competitions, and even the Olympic Trials in the decathlon many years ago.

Distance runners say they don’t need fancy facilities, just open roads. There are plenty of open roads around Crawfordsville, and our nationally recognized cross country team finds rural Montgomery County to provide a scenic backdrop for piling up the mileage. Little Giant harriers also enjoy the cool, wooded comforts of the Fuller Arboretum, where Wabash hosts the Wabash Hokum Karem at the start of every season. Wabash was the host of the 2001 North Coast Athletic Conference Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Championships.
