Indoor Track and Field Facilities
Indoor - Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse | Outdoor - Robert C. Haugh Track & Field Complex
Indiana's indoor track & field complex ranks as one of the nation's elite and received equal generosity from its donor, the family of Harry Gladstein. Prior to the 2006 indoor season, IU made a conversion to a Mondo-surfaced banked track. The 200 meter track was transported to IU via the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. The track, built by Mondo in Italy, saw its first use for the inaugural IAAF World Indoor Championships in March 1987 and then hosted the NCAA Div. I and Div. II Indoor Track and Field Championships annually through 1999.
Gladstein Fieldhouse also features a 200-meter track which includes eight lanes for sprinting, and six more for longer distances. Kiefer Specialty Flooring installed a new Mondo Super-X running surface identical to the track and field surface used at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. In the surface's debut in 1996, 26 track records fell.
The Fieldhouse also played host to the prestigious NIKE Indoor High School Track & Field Championship in 2000 and has hosted four (1975, 1982, 1990, 2000) Big Ten Men's Indoor Track & Field Championships and four (1982, 1986, 1993, 2003) Big Ten Women's Indoor Track & Field Championships. The Big Ten Men's Indoor Championships return to Bloomington for in the 2007 season.
These facilities have produced some of the world's greatest track & field athletes. Indiana has had a total of 34 NCAA champions in women's and men's track & field (men-28, women-6; 4 as part of 4x400m relay) since 1932.
