Cerritos College receives grant for new Track and Field
facility
With the renovation of their new
football field complete prior to the start of the
season, Cerritos College is now in the process of
replacing their track and field, as well as their throws
area. Part of that process includes the widening of the
actual track surface, as well as the installation of new
areas for the javelin, shot put, discus and hammer
throws. As they did back when the surface was replaced
in the early 1990s, the college received a $50,000 grant
from the Amateur Athletic Foundation (AAF), a private
non-profit institution that was endowed with surplus
funds from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The AAF
provides grants to organizations providing youth sports
opportunities, giving special attention to groups and
communities underserved by traditional sports programs,
including girls, ethnic minorities, and the physically
challenged and developmentally disabled. AAF funds are
primarily intended for the development of youth sports
below the elite level. Grants are awarded within the
eight southernmost counties of California...[more]
