The track is ready for running,
the pool prepared for plunging, and
soon Highclimber outfielders will
have some padding on the top of the
fences when robbing opponents of
home runs.
“I have a bunch of good news to—
night: we’re close to ending all the
work,” project manager Jeff Feeney
told the Shelton School Board Tues-

bond on Valentine’s Day 2017. '
The baseball field sports a warning
track in the outfield for the first time,

said.
The swimming pool has new floors,

completed, Feeney said.

weight room, Feeney said.
