THE VENUE

Pittsburg State University and the Crawford County Convention and Visitors Bureau are pleased to welcome the elite NCAA Division II Track & Field athletes to the Robert W. Plaster Center. Dedicated in 2015, the Plaster Center features the 300-meter Harvey Dean Track and a 100-yard turf infield. The Harvey Dean Track is one of only a handful of university owned 300-meter tracks in the nation. This incredible track is one of the primary reasons Pittsburg State was selected to host the 2016, 2018, 2019, 2022 & 2024 NCAA Division II Indoor Track Championships and the 2017, 2019, 2021 & 2022 NJCAA National Championships. The surface of Harvey Dean Track is Mondo Super X Performance; the same surface used at the 2011 Daegu World Championships and eight of the most recent Olympic Games. This prefabricated synthetic rubber track surface is comprised of two different layers that provides unparalleled support, elasticity and spike resistance.

The Harvey Dean Track also features room for nearly 2,500 spectators with a large concourse area and two raised viewing areas. It's the perfect area to watch world-class competitions or to simply watch fellow community members exercise.
