New Track, Turf Field Inspire Cheshire Athletes

This week's rainy weather isn't going to dampen the spirits of Cheshire High School athletes who are looking forward to competing on a new track and turf field this season. 

Cheshire Patch talked to two seniors who said their athletic performance on the new surfaces should make for a strong showing this year.

Construction on the project began last week and is expected to be finished by mid-October for the field and mid-November for the track.

The new field will withstand 3,000 hours of playing time a year, said Vincent Masciana, the school district's director of management services.
