Action begins Wednesday at 10 a.m. with the men's hammer throw and SEC Network+ will stream the meet on ESPN+ each day. Iowa State's full schedule is below. Iowa State has 23 men's entries in 12 events while 11 women are entered in eight events.

At Big 12 Championships, the men finished third with 90 points while the women finished eighth, one point off a tie for sixth, with 50. It was the third top-three finish and third-highest point total for the men in outdoor history. Cam Jones (shot put), Ezekiel Rop (1,500m), Sanele Masondo (10K) and Janette Schraft (steeple) were crowned champions. The Cyclones swept the top three placements in the men's 1,500m and went one-two in the men's 10K to total 42 team points in the two events alone. Iowa State is one of two Big 12 schools to go one-two multiple times in the men's 10K and just the second school to take first through third in the men's 1,500m in league history.

NCAA Prelims and NCAA Championships are a four-day format with men competing on the first and third day and women on the second and fourth. At NCAA West Prelims, the top 12 will advance to Eugene in field events, the 5,000m, 10,000m and steeplechase. In the 200m, 400m, 800m, 1,500m, 110m hurdles and 400m hurdles, the top 24 will advance to the regional quarterfinal. From there, 12 will advance to Eugene from quarterfinal heats.
