1968 USA Olympic Trials Tarton Track (Echo Summit)
This USA Olympic qualifiers team provided the USA’s best team performance at any Olympics to date
One of the most successful examples of the community and government working together for kids in our community. TR4CK raised funds and brought together private donors, the Lake Tahoe Unified School District, the City of South Lake Tahoe and local volunteers to remove the Tarton track and replaced with the modern track. With this effort this facility can host local, middle and high school track meets as well as pre-qualifying meets for the USA Olympic team.
TR4CK is an all volunteer organization and 100% of the net proceeds from the run go to maintaining and obtaining equipment for this track and community.
The 1986 Olympic Trials Tarton Track was moved from Echo Summit to the South Tahoe Middle School
Very Successful for many years, but eventually wore out and became unsafe to run on, no high school meets could be done due to regulation changes of not enough lanes.
