Kind of hilarious we all still accept the "BU has a crazy bouncy surface because of the wooden frame!" explanation. The track is obviously short. Everybody deep down knows this. BU knows it too. They make $1 million a season so college kids can convince themselves they've run faster than they ever have and most likely ever will (until they go back to BU).
much like the track used in the Chinese National Championships, the Stanford track has been found to be minimally short of 400m. Guess that explains all the fast times. What, don't think humans can make mistakes?
I promise Im not trolling, I am convinced that there track is short. Think about it, how do you ever know that a track is the right distance? Some one puts some rubber out their and draws some white lines and tells you its 40...

National records have been set on this track. How can it be short? Surely it is measured.
If any of these runners besides Yared Nuguse can replicate their performances on an outdoor track, a unbanked 200m track, an oversized indoor track, or even a different banked 200m indoor track, I will never say another word about how the BU bouncy house is a literal cheat track.

Tuohy ran 12 seconds faster outdoors than she ran on this track...
It is actually asymmetrical as the angle of the corner entrances is different from that of the exits. As l understand the "frame" is relatively old with fairly new sheeting and surface. There are a few of this style tracks still around. There is an article out there somewhere detailing specs.
