Keokuk, IA – The Keokuk School District's new all-weather-track could be in place this fall. The school board has accepted Wichita, KS-based United Sport Systems' bid of just over $85,000. Athletic Director, Mike Niece, says work could get underway in late September and be completed by mid-October. He says the new all-weather-track will benefit the school district and the community. Niece says the new track, which will be orange, should last 15 to 18 years. He says the long jump runways and the high jump and pole vault pits will also be resurfaced. Niece says the money for the track has been secured through local donations and the district's use of local option sales tax dollars. After the track is complete, the district's focus will switch to upgrading the high school weight room. Niece says the goal is to have that project complete within 1 year.
