FAMU Excited About Renovated Track

TALLAHASSEE, Florida  -- Wayne Angel couldn’t help acting like a child showing off a new toy recently to a visitor at Pete Griffin Track.

The FAMU men’s track & field coach began talking about the new surface. Then, he began talking about the new lane guards, modernized steeplechase pit, remodeled restrooms and the 8-foot fence that encloses it all.

Angel went on to talk about how he sees good things for his current team and the future of the program.

“Perspective recruits look at the resources that you have,” he said. “Now that we have a really good track, it’s a good thing to have.”

Darlene Moore, coach of the women’s team, was just as ecstatic over the renovations that took a year to complete.
