Last summer's renovations at Ingalls Field, which included installing FieldTurf on the football field and a ninth track lane, were at Monday's School Board meeting. The district's business manager, Rick Ketter, outlined the positives he has heard from the community in regard to the updates. In addition, Ketter explained the facility was awarded three additional sporting events during the past year because of the fixes: the WIAA state tournament soccer game, a state semi-final football game and the Wisconsin State Football League championship. Ripon also hosted the conference and state regional track meets at Ingalls. "Although there are no guaranttes, the artificial turf and the track improvements make Ingalls Field an attractive site for future state comeptitions similar to those held in 2008-09," a memo from Ketter said.
