La Salle’s Track Gets a New Look!

Hey there, La Salle! Exciting things are happening at the La Salle-Peru Township High School Athletic Complex as the crew rolls up their sleeves for an impressive track resurfacing project! The hard-working team from the Track Surfaces Company in Elburn has been busy giving our beloved track a facelift, and it’s all happening right before our eyes.

What’s Going On?

The resurfacing work kicked off last Tuesday, September 23, 2025, and the transformation is already well underway. For the past week, dedicated workers have been shoveling the bright red dyed cinder onto the track, adding a splash of color and freshness that will surely be the talk of the town! It’s just what our athletes need to help elevate their performance and boost their spirits!

Why the Resurfacing?

Our track, which first opened its doors in 2014, has seen its fair share of wear and tear over the years. As with any sporting facility, regular maintenance is crucial to keep it in tip-top shape, especially for our dedicated athletes who rely on it for practice and competition. With this new resurfacing, we can expect not only a safer experience for our runners but also an upgraded look that enhances the overall athletic environment.

What This Means for You

However, it’s important to note that during this renovation period, the La Salle-Peru Township High School Sports Complex will be closed to the public for approximately four weeks. So if you were planning to hit the track for your morning jog or a friendly stroll, you might want to plan your activities elsewhere for a little while. But don’t worry! The wait will be worth it once the fresh track is ready to go!

A Community Effort

This project is not just about a new surface; it symbolizes our community’s commitment to providing the best facilities for our athletes. With the continued support of local residents, it’s initiatives like these that ensure our youth have access to top-notch sporting spaces that encourage fitness, teamwork, and school spirit.

Stay Tuned!

So here’s to new beginnings and the fantastic benefits this resurfaced track will bring to La Salle! Remember to keep an eye out for updates as the project continues. And when the track opens back up, we can all come together to cheer on our talented athletes as they sprint, jump, and work hard to achieve their dreams on a fresh, revitalized surface.

In the meantime, let’s show appreciation for the hard work being done by the Track Surfaces Company and the dedicated crews, who are ensuring that our track stays one of the best around!

Happy running (once it opens again), La Salle!
