The WACO athletics program has made a major commitment to a facilities upgrade for their student athletes and community.

Construction has begun on the new Kaufman Athletic Training and Fitness Center on the High School campus in Wayland.

The facility is expected to be approximately 9,000 square feet and house locker rooms, the WACO weight training facility, athletic trainer space, an indoor turf area for workouts and a cardio area that will offer membership opportunities for members of the community.

This facility was gifted to WACO by a donation from Mark and Mary Ann Kaufman. The center is expected to open prior to the 2018-19 school year with an open house planned for a later date.
