The Track and Tennis Center (TTC) was constructed in 2002 to house an indoor track and tennis courts. The first track meet at the TTC occurred on December 6, 2002. The first tennis match followed two months later on February 9, 2003. The TTC replaced the Commonwealth Armory, which served as home to the Boston University indoor track team from 1979 through 2002.
The trackedit
The track is known in the running community as one of the fastest indoor tracks in the world due to its banked turns, wooden supports, and general atmosphere.[2] In February of 2023, 52 men broke the 4 minute mile barrier in the same day at the facility setting the record for the most sub 4 minute miles at a single meet.[3] On January 28, 2013, Olympic Medalist Galen Rupp ran a facility record of 3.50.92 in the mile.[4] On February 9, 2018, Edward Cheserek improved that to 3:49.44, the #2 mark in history at the time.[5] On March 3, 2019, Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia improved that to a new world indoor record of 3:47.01. Also during that same race, American Johnny Gregorek Jr. ran a 3:49.98, becoming the second American to break 3:50 in the mile, also marking the first time indoors that two people ran under 3:50 in the same race.[6]
