Our superior coaching and facilities anchor our track and field program. The ATLANTA 1996 program utilizes the George C. Griffin Track & Field Facility at Georgia Tech.
The George C. Griffin Track & Field Facility
The George C. Griffin Track & Field Facility, already considered one of the top sites in the Southeast for outdoor collegiate track competition, was recently improved as part of Georgia Tech's preparation for the Centennial Olympic Games.

- The George C. Griffin Track & Field Facility
Griffin Track was renovated with a state-of-the-art Mondo surface, similar to those used at Olympic Stadium and at the sites of the World Championships, USA Track and Field Indoor Championships and NCAA Indoor Championships, and was used as the workout track for the Olympic Village. In addition to Griffin Track's state of the art surface and locker rooms, the facility is enhanced by a scenic location which combines natural beauty with Atlanta's modern skyline.
The eight-lane, ultramodern Griffin Track is located between Tech's Rose Bowl practice football fields and the Bill Moore Tennis Center on Fowler Street. The grandstands bring the fans close to the action and give them an excellent view of the track as well as the Atlanta skyline.
