2/10/2023 9:12:00 PM

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – University of Evansville sophomore Adam Oulgout (St. Paul, Minn./Central) posted the fastest indoor mile time at UE since 1983 on Friday night, as he helped pace a pack of Purple Aces at the Hoosier Hills Invitational at Indiana University's Gladstein Fieldhouse in Bloomington.

Oulgout clocked in with a time of 4:21.49 to post the fastest indoor mile time since UE Hall of Famer David Denny set the school record with a time of 4:14.9 in 1983.  Oulgout's time moved past UE Hall of Famer Nick Waninger's best time at Evansville (4:21.85) to rank as the second-fastest indoor mile time on record at UE.  Overall, Oulgout placed 12th in the men's mile competition, but he was less than a second and a half from seventh place.

Senior thrower Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind./Princeton Community) posted UE's best individual finish of the day with a seventh-place finish in the men's weight throw.  Dove broke the 17-meter mark for the fifth-straight meet with a toss of 17.26 meters (56' 7.5") to place seventh overall. He is the only UE male to break the 17-meter mark in the men's weight toss in school history.

Dove also posted a personal-best throw in the men's shot put with a toss of 14.76 meters (48' 5.25") to finish 12th overall.  Fellow senior Jaden Hayes also turned in a personal-best throw of 14.31 meters (46' 11.5") in the shot put to finish four spots behind Dove.

On the women's side, graduate student Melanie Helder (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) finished 12th overall in the women's indoor mile with a time of 5:20.50.

Evansville will return to action next Saturday by taking part in the Indiana State Open in Terre Haute, Indiana.
