Live Meet Results

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville Track & Field team will begin its outdoor season on Friday, as the Purple Aces will travel east to Louisville, Kentucky to take part in Bellarmine's Jim Vargo Invitational.  The meet will begin at 8 a.m. central time with the hammer throw event, with running events scheduled to get underway around 11:15 a.m. central.

The Jim Vargo Invitational will feature competitors from 13 teams, including UE, Bellarmine, Capital University, Cumberlands, Indiana East, Lawrence Tech, Midway, Morehead State, Seton Hill, Southern Indiana, Spalding, Tiffin, and Trevecca Nazarene.

Evansville last competed indoors at the Indiana State Open in Terre Haute on February 18.  In that meet, graduate students Antonia Lamond (Nutley, N.J./Paramus Catholic) and Melanie Helder (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) both broke school records in the indoor shot put and 800-meter race respectively.  The outdoor records in both events may be in jeopardy on Friday, as Lamond's toss of 10.14 meters would break the UE outdoor record in the shot put, while Helder's time of 2:19.34 would just be seconds off the outdoor 800-meter mark on the women's side at UE.

On the men's side, sophomore Adam Oulgout (St. Paul, Minn./Central) took home the 800-meter individual title at the Indiana State Open, while senior thrower Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind./Princeton Community) posted top-10 finishes in both the shot put and men's weight throw.  Dove is the UE outdoor record-holder in both the discus and hammer throw, and should challenge both of those marks on Friday.
