LOUISVILLE, Ky. – For the second-straight week, University of Evansville junior Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind./Princeton Community) broke the UE hammer throw record on Friday as the UE track and field teams battled the competition and the elements at Bellarmine's Jim Vargo Invitational in Louisville, Kentucky.
Competing in rain, sleet, and wind, Dove broke the UE school record in the hammer throw for the second-straight meet. After posting a mark of 47.96 meters last Friday at Eastern Illinois, Dove bettered that mark again with a toss of 48.15 meters to place fifth overall. For Dove, it continues a strong start to his 2022 season, as he has set a personal-best mark in six of his first seven meets this spring.
