Shaw Sports Turf installed 84,000 square feet of Legion NXT 2.0 at Bruce Usher Stadium
BELMONT, Calif., Sept. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Carlmont High School is part of the Sequoia Union High School District located in Belmont, California, in San Mateo County. The high school is known for both academic excellence and athletic achievements. The main athletic sports field at Carlmont High School, called Bruce Usher Stadium, recently underwent a renovation with a brand-new Shaw Sports Turf field.
The previous synthetic turf surface at Bruce Usher Stadium held up to the wear and tear of the school’s athletes and community for a decade before time came for a replacement field. The previous turf was also a Shaw Sports Turf surface.
“We needed to replace our existing Shaw turf because it was nearing the end of its useful life. We used Shaw again because they did the original installation 10 years ago and had been contracted for maintenance and testing over that period of time,” said Jay Newman, project manager for Sequoia Union High School district.
The school relies on the turf in Bruce Usher Stadium to hold up to a variety of sports and school events, including graduation and other large school wide ceremonies. The field is primarily used for football, soccer, flag football, and lacrosse. To meet these demands, Shaw recommended the Legion NXT turf system to meet the demands of this multi-use field.
Shaw Sports Turf installed 84,000 square feet of Legion NXT 2.0″, Shaw Sports Turf’s newest fiber system. Including the exemplary ThunderBolt Fiber, which features both monofilament and premium slit film fibers, Legion NXT is a hybrid system that offers realistic aesthetics with an electrifying degree of durability. This system is built for strength and endurance as one of the most durable products in the industry.
School officials noted that they were not only impressed by the quality of the turf, but also the experience working with Shaw. “Working with Shaw was a positive experience. They worked collaboratively with our project manager and site team to accommodate requests specific to our site needs,” said Grant Steunenberg, Administrative Vice President, Carlmont High School. Shaw worked with the school to ensure a smooth process from beginning to end. Newman also echoes an “excellent experience working with Shaw,” noting that “Shaw was responsive and helped bring the project in on time and on budget.”
The upgraded synthetic turf surface promises to benefit the overall study body, student athletes, and the community alike. The field at Bruce Usher Stadium “will be much appreciated by sports participants given the resilient sports surface and by spectators due to the bright and colorful new appearance,” said Newman.
“A new field positively impacts school culture and imparts a feeling of pride in our student-athletes,” said Steunenberg.
The replacement turf field project was completed on August 4th, 2023. Football practice began that same day.
“We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with the Sequoia Union High School District and Carlmont High School on the installation of the new Shaw Sports Turf Legion NXT Turf System. We look forward to watching this school reap the benefits of a high quality, dual fiber turf system that will provide great playability through their multisport playing field,” said Shaw Sports Turf Territory Manager, Matt Cohen.
