An extended lightning delay starting at 6:20 PM forced the remaining events (some field events and running events starting with the girls 400 and beyond) to be reschedule to Wednesday, May 8th at a new location at Norfolk Academy. MileStat.com was on-site with coverage for Tuesday's portion of the meet at CNU, but can't confirm right now that we will be on-site for the day two rescheduled portion of the meet on Wednesday at Norfolk Academy.
