Seriously not trying to hurt any feelings here BUT...man the Nederland facilities are HORRIBLE. The long jump pit boards are all out of wack. Literally not even close to being a flat surface. Just old rotten out boards sitting at uneven angles. I thought for sure someone was going to break an ankle. The track itself is full of peaks and valleys and dip-de-doo's. Couldn't even see the curves because there are no lights. Kids literally having to run in the dark until they reach the straight away. Worst facilities bar non I've ever seen for a high school track competition.
I remember last year it was LIGHTLY raining and there were literally lakes forming on the track. A couple of teams actually just packed up and got on the buses and went home. Several athletes were stumbling and slipping.
I'm sorry if it seems like I'm busting on Nederland...I am NOT but at the same time I am. Those kids DESERVE MUCH BETTER. IT IS A SHAME.
INSTEAD OF THE DOG POUND THEY SHOULD CALL IT THE JUNKYARD.
Sorry but just being honest.

The cost of a 20-30 MILLION dollar bond package cost the average home owner about as much as they spend on coffee and doughnuts. Really people, we spend more money on fast food, cigarettes and liquor than we do on our children's education and athletics are a big part of education.

Congrats to Maya and her family. Been watching this young lady shred the 100m and 200m since she was a youth. It's wonderful when a very deserving person that has worked hard for their goals get to see those goals become reality..She has been a fierce competitor and humble in her success. Good Job Maya.Troy University is lucky to have you.
What other local talent is taking it to the next level?
