Oregon Tech held a ribbon cutting for its newly renovated track and field facility May 9. The new track enables Oregon Tech to host track meets and will enhance local economic development through increased visitors to the region.
Renovation of the 40-year-old John F. Moehl Stadium and track began in 2021 and culminated in the ribbon cutting attended by the Oregon Tech community, local representatives, and donors.
“This renovated stadium is heralding a new era for our student-athletes and will benefit everyone at Oregon Tech, the broader Klamath Falls community, as well as the entire region,” Oregon Tech President Dr. Nagi Naganathan said at the event. “When we started this project, we made a commitment: this is not just an Oregon Tech asset; this is an asset for the community so that our students and our community members can enjoy this, and we will use this space not just for athletics but to build community in Klamath Falls.”
Oregon Tech successfully held its first home track and field meet in 12 years in late March and is hosting the Cascade Collegiate Conference Championships May 10-11. [Oregon Tech]
