Texas Christian University (TCU) upgraded its outdoor track surface at Lowden Track and Field Complex with the Rekortan Gel G13 System. This World Athletics-certified track from Rekortan will reduce stress on the environment and the athlete. TCU’s NCAA Division I track and field teams, the Horned Frogs, will also benefit from improved speed, enhanced comfort, and reduced risk of injuries.
“My staff and I are excited about the new improvements to our track,” said TCU Track and Field Head Coach, Khadevis Robinson. “The facilities at TCU are amazing, and this new track is a testament to the support track and field has at our university.”
Balancing the force reduction needed for training and the speed required for competition, the Rekortan Gel track installed at TCU will provide 58% of energy back to the athletes without being so firm that it increases the risk of injury.
“We are pleased to partner with TCU to support their men’s and women’s track teams,” said Tim Jordan, vice president, Rekortan USA. “Former track and field athletes staff our company, so we’re all dedicated fans of the sport and committed to improving the industry with our track innovations. This is one of the best tracks to showcase the talent of TCU’s track teams. We’re excited to see the new track’s positive impact on the Horned Frogs.”
