Ground broke for Warrior Park on May 4, 2018, nearly two months after Indiana Tech announced its intention to purchase Donald Ross Golf Club and develop the back nine for university athletic teams. The complex is also home to Indiana Tech softball—the program enjoyed its first game there on March 21, 2019—and the men’s and women’s wrestling programs, which call the on-site Warrior Multipurpose Athletic Building their training home. The front nine of Donald Ross Golf Club is still owned and operated by Indiana Tech.Over the past 10 years, Indiana Tech’s track and field program has amassed 13 national championships. The men’s team won the outdoor championship in 2016, 2014 and 2013 and notching indoor titles in 2021, 2019, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014. The women won outdoors in 2014 and 2013 and took indoor titles in 2021 and 2017.Here is a gallery of photos from Indiana Tech’s first-ever meet at its Warrior Park track and field complex.
