Construction started last month on the track that will be state of the art.

It's being funded by the 96 million dollar school bond approved by voters last spring.

Mountain View Athletic Director Dave Hood says this was really needed.

"Oh my gosh. It was in such bad shape.  It's kind of crazy the dips in it, unpredictable.  The surfaces were gone.  It didn't make any sense to put a new surface on the bad road beds.  We couldn't host many track meets. It was really in bad shape."

The new track wil  be finished by the fall.

Until then, Mountain View students have to use other school's tracks.

Bend High will get a new track next spring.
