EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Four members of the University of Evansville track & field team will travel north to Bloomington, Indiana on Friday afternoon to take part in the Hoosier Hills meet at IU's Gladstein Fieldhouse.  The meet will start at 3 p.m. central time.

Senior thrower Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind./Princeton Community) will kick off the competition for UE by competing in the men's weight throw, before both Dove and fellow senior Jaden Hayes will compete in the men's shot put.

On the track, graduate student Melanie Helder (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) and sophomore Adam Oulgout (St. Paul, Minn./Central) will represent UE in the women's and men's indoor mile races, respectively.  Helder will take the track first at approximately 5:30 p.m. central, with Oulgout competing in the men's mile directly afterwards.

Dove and Hayes both set personal-best indoor marks in the shot put last weekend at the PNC Bank Bellarmine Classic, while Dove set the UE program record in the weight throw in December.  Helder is rounding into form after opening the indoor season carrying an injury, and came within 15 seconds of UE's indoor school record in the mile last week at Bellarmine.  Oulgout also is coming off a personal-best mark in the mile last week, and has posted a new PR in the mile in two of UE's last three meets overall.
