Nassau, The Bahamas -- The Pan American Sports Organization agreed to construct a state-of-the-art athletics track in North Andros. Evon Wisdom, co-ordinator, Sports Unit in the Ministry of Education announced the plans for re-surfacing of the track of the Carl Oliver Jr. Track and Field Facility at North Andros High School during a press conference at the Ministry of Education on Thursday, October 5, 2017. Mr. Wisdom revealed that Mondo Surfaces, represented by Michael Tovan, would re-surface the track. Mr. Tovan estimated the job would take six months to complete and upon completion would be certified at IAAF standards; the surface would be similar to that of the National Stadium's track.
