LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course
- LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course
The LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course, in Terre Haute, Indiana was dedicated October 17, 1997. This course has the distinction of being one of the few purpose-built cross-country courses in the world. The facility is part of 240 acres that comprise the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center just east of the Terre Haute International Airport. The course itself is built on a reclaimed coal mine and consists of an external loop of 3km and four internal loops that allow for circuits of varying lengths. Indiana State University's Cross-Country team uses the Gibson Course for its home meets.
In the short history of the course it has hosted multiple championship meets. The Gibson Course hosted the NCAA Division I Great Lakes Regional in 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2003. The most prominent meet it has hosted has been the NCAA Division I Cross-Country Championship. The Gibson Course hosted this championship in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and will again do so in 2008. In 2004 it also became the host site of the state high school championship meet for Indiana. It has also hosted numerous invitational and conference championship meets on multiple levels since it opened.
