Severe weather forced a schedule delay and an early end to Day 2 of the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships. In both the mid-afternoon and early evening, fans and athletes evacuated the Michael A. Carroll Track & Soccer Stadium, on the campus of Indiana University / Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI), and headed for adjacent buildings and parking structures, as high winds and heavy rain battered the city.
Among the athletes with Arizona connections competing on Thursday, former Brophy Prep standout Alex Mason, now competing for Georgetown University, placed second in the junior men’s 3000 meter steeplechase.
