The Triton Track and Field Scoreboard

Triton Stadium, nestled in the north part of the UC San Diego campus, is home to a state-of-the-art track with an adjacent throwing facility that is considered by many to be among the best in the world. Yet, something vital is missing in the campus’ hub for NCAA track and field events: a functioning scoreboard.

Without an electronic scoreboard, race results cannot be viewed immediately during meets—of key importance to track and field athletes and spectators. A new electronic scoreboard will enable UC San Diego to host championships and share the facilities with community groups and high school teams that currently do not utilize UC San Diego’s venue for championship meets due to its lack of a competition-caliber scoreboard.

A new initiative has been launched to purchase a scoreboard for future student-athletes in memory of Triton alumna, Shannon Quigley Runningbear '91, one of UC San Diego’s most successful track and field athletes ever and a strong alumni advocate.
