What does it mean to the athletic department to have a floor that doesn't seek the right treatment or care? Head coach Debbie Harrold of the women's basketball team comments "It is a sign that the future for athletic facilities here on campus should be improved, we all want to enhance the quality of our floor but the key is getting the right funding."
Secretary Gail Rushing also comments "The floor could definitely use a new paint job but we need more sponsors, and we just don't have that right now."
The athletic department plans on finding one or two key sponsors that will help take care of LBCC athletic facilities primarily the gymnasium floor.

Just this last summer the athletic department was able to re-varnish the gym floor along with an updated version of the new Roadrunner logo to sit at center court. With good intentions, the job was complete but not executed right, and a smear was left next to the new Roadrunner that needed to be fixed. The only thing the athletic department could do at the time was cover the mishap up with a giant white sticker that plastered over the mistake.
Men's basketball Freshman Brodie Marchant is quoted "I've personally slipped at center floor on some occasions and it's not the safest thing but we take a lot of respect on our home floor and have to look past that.."
Sophomore post Andrew Reardon mentions "Yeah, our floor isn't the best in the league by any means or the prettiest of things but we don't like losing here, and we don't think teams expect the environment that turns out at our home games."
The "Roadrunner Blue" that once stood out many years ago has also faded to a woodland green and could certainly use a paint job. As spring term gets closer and closer, the gymnasium will have time to relax, while the athletic department will look to put their plan to action.

Austin, good story about the gym floor. I used your story as one of my blog forums. It would have been nice if you included how much the floor repair would cost, or if any donors have made an offer to help.
