La Salle High School, Pasadena
This picture
is facing southwest. This is a small private school just across the street from
Sierra Madre but is technically in Pasadena. It replaced a short oval dirt track
that was about 5 laps to a mile. They installed the new track around the new
fake grass football/soccer infield. With the space limitation came the odd size
of the track which I calculated as 343.185 based on extrapolating the distance
between the 800 (2.25 laps) and 3200 (9.25 lap) offset (in the foreground).
The second 4x400 relay zone (also in the foreground) does not look proper, though
I am not sure how it should be marked (such a situation, with a passing zone
with no stagger on a turn is rare), though the mark in lane 6 should not be
behind lane 1 in a practical sense (the end of the zone really is a line that
has no lane application). Other than the small stands parked on the track surface,
there is no stadium seating here, though there is a fenced hillside on the north
side that looks like it is ready to house stadium seating in the future.
Because there are so many passing zones, they have linked commonzones (and
their labels) by these lines within the passing zone triangles--inventive and
necessary.
One of the size limitations on this track is the baseball field. As you can
see, they couldn't extend the track (about a foot higher than the baseball outfield)
any further into the actual playing field.
