Figured I'd start this thread now as the 1st news has been released, the announcement of which Buffs will be competing in what events at next week's Western region preliminaries, being held this year in Sacramento.
Note that congrats are already in order to Buff Avery McMullen, who has qualified for the Finals in Austin in the Heptathlon. (Due to the grueling nature of the events, the men's decathlon and women's heptathlon don't have competition at the preliminaries. Instead, the top 24 scorers over the season (up through their conference championships) in each multi-event who accept entry into the finals punch their tickets to the Championships finals. Also wanted to note Ms. McMullen is still scheduled to be in Sacramento next week and competing in TWO individual events she qualified and declared for- the 100M hurdles and long jump.)
Go Buffs to the MANY student-athletes declared and accepted to compete at the preliminaries!!!
(Including all runners on the 4X400 relay teams, both of which qualified for Sacramento, I'm guessing roughly 1 dozen CU men and 1 dozen CU women will be competing at prelims.)

As has been the case the last few years, days are generally**** broken down by gender, with Wednesday and Friday being when all men's events are competed, while Thursday and Saturday are women's days.
***The only exceptions to this is the the multi-events, which are required to be competed over 2 consecutive days. Therefore, the men's decathlon is Wednesday and Thursday, while the women's heptathlon is Friday and Saturday.
In general:
Wednesday - Field events AND the decathlon, day 1 begin at 1:30 PM MT, while racing on the track begins at 5:32 PM MT.
Thursday - Decathlon day 2 begins at 11:00 AM MT, field events begin at 2:30 PM MT, and racing on the track begins at 6:32 PM MT.

Looks like nice FULL coverage for those with subscriptions which give folks access to ESPN2 and ESPN+. In general, looks like all single track events are scheduled to be shown on evening telecasts on ESPN2, while all field and multi-events have coverage scheduled on ESPN+.
From the link just above, evening track (I'd guess it may also include highlights from field and multi events, along with maybe select field coverage for those events scheduled to be competed during the broadcast windows) broadcast schedule (Note that times are CENTRAL):
