That's a filip I first saw when Washington State put in its new track a few years
back. Since John Chaplin was hired as a "consultant" on the Sac State installation,
suspect that was his idea.
I really does make for greater enjoyment in watching relay races (not that we saw any
of those at the OT).
The easy way to sell it to your AD is to have the track/zones differentiated in your
school colors. Works particularly well if the track surrounds the football field and
is thus a part of the visual backdrop on TV.
