Larson Track & Field Complex

Street Address: 2600 S Grange Ave, Sioux Falls, S.D. 57197

Enhancing the experience for nearly 100 student-athletes in the Augustana track & field and cross country programs, Augustana University will soon finish the construction on the Larson Track & Field Complex on campus.

An eight lane Beynon surface track will be the centerpiece of the new Larson Track & Field Complex. The complex will also contain the Vance Butler Field Events Area for high jump, pole vault runways and long jump/triple jump space.  A nearly 100-yard artificial turf field will serve as a valuable space for not only the track & field program, but all 19 sport programs.  It will also give Augustana faculty and students a much needed training area. 

"I'm thrilled for our student-athletes who will finally have a training home, and we owe it to them and future Vikings to deliver this first class facility," said Augustana President Stephanie Herseth Sandlin. "The Larson Track & Field Complex has been years in the making and is a great addition to our campus footprint."

The nearly $2 million project is being funded through the generosity of donors from across the country and with a leadership gift from Linda Larson.  Larson's gift will name the track in honor of the memory of her late father William "Billy" Larson and her sister Kathie.  Giving opportunities still exist.
