Is a new gym floor
that special?
|
Fifteen
years of shin splints, sore ankles, and
knee problems are coming to an end this
year as Central Maine Community College
(CM)
has just put
down a new
hardwood floor
in the Kirk Hall
Gym.
Opened in 1993, Kirk Hall houses not only the gym but
classrooms and
offices as
well. A rubber
court was
installed since
back “in the
day” that was
the newest,
greatest
invention since
sliced bread!
Many schools
went this
direction and
laid down this
multi-use
surface to save
money on
construction.
The mindset at
the time was
that this
flooring saved
valuable cash,
was damage
proof, and could
also be used for
just about any
event! However,
most public
institutions
since then have
replaced this
surface after
realizing the
disproportionate
number of
injuries that
occur and the
toll it takes on

Why Community College
Athletics?
By Dave
Gonyea |

I
receive a number of
questions every year
regarding the
differences between
playing sports at a
two-year college vs. a
four-year college.
I
usually reply with two
powerful words: Cost
and Opportunity.
Student
athletes have a variety
of schools to pick from
today. Some prefer a
more traditional,
prestigious education
offered by Bates,
Bowdoin, and Colby. Of
course, the high
academic requirements
and the $44,000 price
tag limit who can attend
those schools.
