CU track and field: Buffs bid goodbye to Balch after 78 seasons

Balch Fieldhouse has served the University of Colorado track and field team well for the past 78 years, but after the Potts Indoor Invitational this weekend, the university's team will be moving over to the new campus facility.

Because the fieldhouse has been beaten up and outdated for some time now, most coaches and athletes won't miss it as they look forward to their new home.

For Mark Wetmore, cross country and track head coach of 21 years, the transition to the new facility has been a long time coming.

"I don't know anybody that feels much nostalgia," Wetmore said.
