Members of the Casey County High School track team and the team's boosters club came through Monday night as they presented the Casey County Board of Education with a check for $17,000 to help rubberize the CCHS track.
Originally, it was estimated that it would cost around $40,000 to make improvements to the track so that the team could host meets, a cost that the track boosters and the school board agreed to split. The $17,000 was added to an already existing $3,000 in the account.
