Audrey J. Walton made the largest investment in Olympic sports in Mizzou Athletics history.
Walton’s “generous philanthropic gift” will fund “significant renovations” to the Audrey J. Walton Track and Field and Soccer Stadium, including a new outdoor track surface and natural grass on the soccer field.
The renovations will restore Mizzou Track and Field’s home field advantage; the program hasn’t hosted an outdoor meet since 2021 or an SEC conference meet since 2013.
“Audrey Walton’s commitment to Mizzou track and field has been transformational over the years,” Mizzou track and field head coach Brett Halter said in the Mizzou Athletics press release.
