Texas Tech's Anastacia Chepkorir secures 3rd place in delayed Big 12 track meet

The Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships were delayed Friday night, the second day in a row weather disrupted competition in Waco.

Rain and lightning triggered the suspension after 7 p.m., and the estimated resumption time was 9:30 p.m.

Only three of the 21 men’s events were completed and only four of the 21 women’s events were graded. The three-day meet at Clyde Hart Stadium is scheduled to conclude on Saturday.

The Texas Tech men, trying to win the indoor and outdoor conference championships for the second straight year, have eight points. These came from freshman Ernest Cheruiyot, who finished fourth in the 10,000 meters with a time of 29 minutes, 21.67 seconds, and senior Konner Wood, who finished sixth in the hammer throw with a personal best of 206 feet even. Both of their events took place on Thursday.
