Track officials are getting John McDonnell Field dry and suitable for today’s competition after heavy rain and lightening pushed back the start of the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

  A revised schedule of events has been released. Running events will now begin at 7:10 p.m., around an hour later than originally scheduled. Meanwhile, the field events have been moved because of the weather.

  Here are some of the events that involve Arkansas athletes:

  The heptathlon will start at 3 p.m. with the long jump, followed by the javelin at 4:15 p.m. and the 800-meter run at 6:15 p.m.

  Senior Nkosinza Balumbu will kick off his bid to win his first outdoor triple jump national title at 6 p.m. today.

  Junior Katie Stripling will take the track at 8:30 p.m. in hopes of winning a pole vault national championship.
