HELLAS REENERGIZES GULFPORT TRADITION WITH NEW TRACK AND FIELD AT RECENTLY RENOVATED MULTI-PURPOSE SPORTS FACILITY

GULFPORT, Miss., Jan. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Gulfport High School Admirals, a perennial powerhouse in track and field, are looking forward to competing on their new running track installed by Hellas at their multi-purpose facility.

The Admirals recently won nine boys state track titles in an eleven-year span. The girls track team is led by three-time Olympic medalist and Admirals alum, Brittney Reese, who will coach girls track and field plus cross country. Reese's career includes two NCAA championships at Ole Miss, a pair of silver medals, and a gold medal at multiple Olympic games.

The Admirals newly remodeled multi-purpose facility, named after legendary Gulfport High School track coach Prince Jones, features a blue Hellas S200 epiQ Tracks^® System. This paved-in-place system consists of polyurethane bound rubber granules topped with a spray-applied coat of one or two-component polyurethane and EPDM granules. The end result provides runners with optimal control, cushion, and response, while also being extremely durable.

Reese is excited to be coaching the girls' team and injecting new energy into the program stating, "The best way for me to inspire these kids is for me to be out there with them and guide them in the right direction on and off the track."

In addition to the renovated track system, the Admirals facility features a multi-purpose synthetic turf playing field installed by Hellas using manufactured products designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and provide a consistent year-round playing surface for athletes.
