From the reviews

Fantastic facility here in Ames, IA, and a very fast track, which helped me to earn my eighth USATF National Championship Title! Very well-organized national track meet as well - thank you!

★★★★★ — Scott, Aug 2019

A beautiful facility for track and field events. I attended the USATF Masters Outdoor Championships and was very pleased with the facility. Well maintained and the track felt great.

★★★★★ — Matt, Jul 2019

The Masters Track and Field Nationals was held here. They did the fantastic job all through the competition events so far. Thanks to all the volunteers and the USATF organizers. The track is being kept very well in great condition. The field area is just right. Almost nothing to complain about.

★★★★★ — Coach, Jul 2021

…If you're a track and field athlete, coach, or fan of throwing events, the Cyclone Sports Complex is a fantastic venue. Iowa State has built something special here, and we're already looking forward to coming back.
