If the Niskayuna track and field team gets the OK to host its annual Warrior Classic and some Suburban Council dual meets this spring season, it will not do so due to the deteriorating condition of its track, and has plans to use Schenectady’s nearby facility instead.
That was the plan last season, too, before the campaign was erased because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I don’t think our track has been touched in the last 15 years. It’s supposed to be done every seven or eight years. That’s two cycles,” Niskayuna track and cross country coach Jason DeRocco said. “In a lot of places, blacktop shows through. If we host live duals, we’ll go to Schenectady. If we do it virtual, we will not be able to use lane one for anything.”
