Oh believe me boys, it's still there. Every year we go there for the Carleton (Outdoor) Relays and my team sets up camp underneath the stadium next to the crappy ass indoor track. Sometimes people warm up on it, but it's a p.o.s. Luckily for Carleton (and the rest of us in the MIAC) they built a brand new track that is fairly sweet, but it's not quite 200m. I think it might be like 180m or something around there.
I talked to someone once who ran at a DIII college in the midwest in the late 70s, and he said they actually used to run meets on that old track at Carleton. Hard to imagine that.
