EVANSVILLE, Ind. – With inclement weather expected in the Terre Haute, Indiana area on Friday, this weekend's Pacesetter Sports Invitational track meet has been pushed back one day.  Now, the University of Evansville Track & Field teams will compete on both Saturday and Sunday in Terre Haute.

The two-day meet will now begin on Saturday at 2 p.m. central time with both the hammer throw and javelin events.  Action on the track will begin at 5 p.m. central time with the men's 5,000-meter race.  Only the hammer throw, javelin and 5,000-meter races of both genders will be contested on Saturday.  The remainder of the meet will begin on Sunday at 11 a.m. central time with field events and 12 p.m. central time for track events.

UE is coming off of a strong showing at Murray State's Margaret Simmons Invitational.  Senior thrower Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind./Princeton Community) won both the men's discus and hammer throw events, and sophomore Denzel Lasam (St. Louis, Mo./De Smet Jesuit) took home the individual title in the men's triple jump.  Graduate student Antonia Lamond (Nutley, N.J./Paramus Catholic) also broke the school records in both the women's hammer throw (37.83 meters) and shot put (10.17 meters) events.

Overall, the UE men placed fourth out of 12 teams, while the UE women placed 13th out of 15 teams at the Margaret Simmons Invitational.  The fourth-place showing was UE's best of the outdoor season.
