The track surrounding Maverick Stadium was officially dedicated in memory of longtime Lady Mavs track coach Emma Bennett on March 2, 2017. Coach Bennett passed away shortly before the decision was made to name the track in her honor. Below is an excerpt from an article in the Marshall News Messenger regarding the dedication ceremony:

Coach Bennett led the Lady Mavs track team to 10 straight district championships during the 1980s and 1990s, which marks the longest run of district championships in the history of any Marshall ISD athletic program. School officials, along with Bennett's relatives, former athletes and community members all gathered on the track field to witness the historic unveiling. They were joined by two former athletic directors Bill Harper and Dennis Parker, who all shared fond memories of Bennett's winning feat. READ MORE ABOUT COACH BENNETT
