FULL REVISED SCHEDULE

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Fans at the Rock Chalk Park on the campus of the University of Kansas had a better chance of seeing a house fall on a wicked witch than see any track & field action Thursday, as inclement weather washed out the first day of the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds.
 
The Vikings had three athletes scheduled to compete on the day, but all three will now have to wait until Friday to compete for potential spots in the NCAA Outdoor Championships in two weeks time.
 
Spenser Schmidt was scheduled to compete in the first round of the men's long jump, but will now compete in the event at 9 a.m. (CT) Friday.
 
Amanda Boman was also supposed to cap the night for the Vikings in the women's 10,000 meters, but will now face an early wake-up call tomorrow, as the semifinals of the women's 10k got pushed to an 8 a.m. (CT) start Friday.
 
The rescheduling will most affect Genna Settle, however, as the weather forced meet organizers to eliminate a round of competition in the 100 and 200 meters. There will now only be a quarterfinal round of the 100 and 200 at the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds, with the six heat winners as well as the next six-fastest times advancing to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene in both events.
 
Settle will now run in the quarterfinals of the 100 meters at 9:20 a.m. (CT) Friday, and the quarterfinals of the 200 meters at 12:30 p.m. (CT) Saturday.
 
The 100-meter hurdles also lost a round of competition due to the poor weather, meaning Akayla Anderson will now just compete in the quarterfinals of the event at 11:30 a.m. (CT) Saturday.
 
The rescheduling also pushed ChaQuinn Cook's start time in the women's triple jump on Saturday, as she'll now start the competition at 12:30 p.m. (CT).
