George Gauthier Track

The Battling Bishop men's and women's track teams host outdoor meets on the George Gauthier Track, inside Selby Field on South Henry Street on the eastern edge of campus, while indoor meets are held in the Gordon Field House, nestled in the middle of campus.

The all-weather George Gauthier Track is an Ameritan FP surface completed for the 2006-07 academic year. As part of the track project, a second shot put area was installed, as were new areas for the long and triple jumps on the east side of the visiting grandstand.

The site of 16 of the first 23 NCAC outdoor track & field championships, Selby is believed to be the oldest facility in the nation constructed to Olympic specifications and remaining in its original configuration.

Selby Field, built in 1929, was designed by Gauthier, Ohio Wesleyan's Hall of Fame football coach and athletic director, and named after George D. Selby, who served the Ohio Wesleyan board of trustees for 24 years. Selby Field recently underwent a restoration project that included a new, 2-level press box, new bleacher seats and refurbished locker rooms. It also serves as home of the Bishop football, field hockey and men's lacrosse teams.

Prior to 1929, the Bishops hosted home meets at Edwards Field, the site of today's Branch Rickey Center, which includes the Gordon Field House.
