Add Florida State University to Beynon Sports Surfaces NCAA Partners

Beynon Sports recently completed the resurfacing of Florida State University’s Mike Long Track and Field facility with the state-of the-art BSS 2000 Resurfacing System. Florida State University will now join the more than 100 NCAA Division I track and field teams that train and compete daily on Beynon Sports’ suite of high-performance polyurethane surfaces.

With the refurbishment of their track and field facility, FSU is looking to build upon their storied history and host more ACC Championships, in addition to other high-profile track and field events. The track at FSU is named in honor of Coach Mike Long - the first track and field coach at the school. In its 53-year history, the track program has hosted numerous NCAA championships in addition to preparing the 1996 British Olympic team for the 1996 Olympics.

The BSS 2000 Resurfacing System is a revolutionary Beynon Sports manufacturing and installation process that restores the appearance and texture of an existing track and field surface, and dramatically enhances the feel under foot. Beynon Sports’ BSS 2000 Resurfacing System not only improves aesthetics, but can bring rubber sheet good products and aged two-component polyurethane systems to within IAAF performance parameters.

Prior to installing the BSS 2000 Resurfacing System, Beynon Sports performed comprehensive in-situ testing on the existing surface and determined the precise methodology and thickness of the BSS 2000 Resurfacing System necessary to improve force reduction and meet IAAF requirements.

“We are pleased to welcome FSU to the growing Beynon family in the ACC and the NCAA,” said John Beynon, President of Beynon Sports. “The Beynon Sports’ track and field surface provides the resilient response and maximum energy return that the Seminole athletes will need to shatter records and it has been a pleasure to partner with them on this exciting project.”

The Seminoles had their choice of sports surfacing companies for this project, but Beynon’s sole-source manufacturing and installation capability, their unmatched customer service and reputation for high-quality products within the NCAA community made the decision easy for school administrators.
