NCAA Division I championships begin Wednesday in Austin...
Representatives from 142 different schools will participate in women's events, while 126 programs are represented in men's events.
In anticipation of a possible weather delay to the meet, a decision has been made by both the NCAA meet management and ESPN to move all running events, with the exception of the 10000 up another 30 minutes.
For the time being, there are no changes to the time schedule of Thursday’s competition.
A link to the NCAA release, along with the revised Wednesday schedule is available here.
Other Huskies making repeat appearances to the outdoor national championship meet include Mick Stanovsek in the 1500, Emily Hamlin in the steeplechase, and Izzi Batt-Doyle in the 10000.
Washington State has four athletes in Austin, led by reigning Pac-12 hammer champion Brock Eager, who is making his third NCAA championship meet appearance.
Eastern Washington has one athlete in Keshun McGee, who is qualified in both the long and triple jumps.
Additionally, Colfax native John Dressel of Colorado (m 5000/10000), University Place native Lexi Ellis of Oregon (w triple jump) and Mountlake Terrace native Chinne Okoronkwo of Texas Tech (w pole vault) will compete in the championships.
Using the successful format initiated in 2016 in Eugene, the Wednesday and Friday sessions are devoted strictly towards the men’s competition, while the Thursday and Saturday sessions are for the women’s competition.
