In addition, they donated the funds for the purchase of the track equipment (hurdles, landing pads, blocks, etc.) and visiting bleachers. At 9:45 a.m., there will be a short dedication of the track.

Six other MIAA schools will participate in the leagues jamboree, which will get started at 10 a.m. All running events will be on the Kolassa Track with field events taking place in areas surrounding the track. Pole vault, long jump and triple jump will be contested in the area south of the home grandstand, shotput in the southeast corner of the complex, and discus, javelin and hammer near the colleges baseball and soccer fields.
