 track1.jpgDreams can come true
 
The voters of Warren County made a dream become a reality when they passed PROP KIDS on April 4, 2009. Part of that proposition was the renovation of the high school athletic complex, which included the installation of a regulation track – something Wright City has never had.
 
“It’s like a dream come true. I never thought I would see it,” said track coach Sue Wright.
 
After the summer rains subsided, crews worked overtime to prepare the track for the application of the rubber and the red coating. As the opening of school approached, the complex took shape and white lines appeared on the red surface.
 
“Since the track has been striped, we have seen some people walking on it, but it really is not ready for a lot of foot traffic,” commented Superintendent Dr. Chris Gaines.
 
track3.jpgOn September 9 at 6:30 p.m. the district will hold an open house to celebrate the completion of the track. The football field will not be useable until the grass is established. For that reason, the fall home football games will be played at Warrenton High School.
 
Plans are to auction off the naming rights for the renovated complex at the annual Blue and Gold Dinner/Auction held in November. The winning bidder will have a board approved name displayed on the press box for one year .
 
 “We are very grateful to the community for supporting the district through the passage of the propositions we have put on the ballots. The students of the district will benefit for many years to come,” said Superintendent Gaines.
