Due to the inclement weather, only the heptathlon and decathlon took place on Friday, with both sections of the shot put and high jump and the men's long jump all being pushed to Saturday. The remaining preliminary rounds on the track will no longer take place and all running events on Saturday will be finals against time.

The Summit League Outdoor Championships will conclude on Saturday. Both field events and action on the track will begin at 11 a.m. Live results will continue to be provided by Dakota Timing. Portions of the meet will also be live streamed by The Summit League Network.
