EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville track and field teams will get back to action this weekend, as the Purple Aces will take part in the two-day Commodore Challenge hosted by Vanderbilt University at the Vanderbilt Multipurpose Facility in Nashville, Tennessee.  The meet will begin Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. and continue on Saturday at 11 a.m., with both days being available live on the SEC Network+.

The Commodore Challenge will feature competitors for 17 different schools, including 13 Division I institutions.  A stacked Division I field includes student-athletes from Alabama, Austin Peay, Belmont, Evansville, Indiana, Lipscomb, Lindenwood, Middle Tennessee State, Murray State, Ole Miss, Tennessee Tech, Vanderbilt, and Western Kentucky.

This weekend will mark UE's first meet since opening the 2022-23 indoor season on December 3 at both the Commonwealth College Opener in Louisville, Kentucky and the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener in Boston, Massachusetts.  Senior Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind./Princeton Community) and graduate student Antonia Lamond (Nutley, N.J./Paramus Catholic) combined to break three indoor throwing records to lead the way for UE at the Commonwealth Opener.  Meanwhile, graduate student Melanie Helder (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) came within 11 seconds of breaking the UE school record in the 3,000-meters at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener.

In addition to the Commodore Challenge being seen live on the SEC Network+, live meet results can also be found on-line at https://live.pttiming.com/?mid=5359.  This weekend's competition will be the first of five weeks of indoor competition for UE, before the Purple Aces take part in the 2023 Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships on February 26-27 in Chicago, Illinois.
