Santa Barbara High School's track has been sinking, resulting in a large hole that’s swallowed two of the lanes next to the bleachers.
It’s a real problem for the school’s track team. The school has not been able to host any meets at home this year due to the cavernous disruption.
In 2023, athletic director Todd Heil first alerted the school district to a “dip in the track.” The district paid $16,000 to flatten it out and replace it. But then, in 2024, it started dipping again.
