Two School Records Fall On Day Two At Gibson Invitational

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – University of Evansville senior Joey Rucinski (Ft. Wayne, Ind./Concordia Lutheran) and junior Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind./Princeton Community) broke school records in the decathlon and hammer throw events on Friday in the second day of action at the Gibson Track & Field Invitational in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Rucinski won the decathlon event with a dominant performance on Friday, as he finished first or second in all five events on the day while totaling a school-record mark of 5,906 points. It was more than 200 points better than his previous-best mark, set at last year's Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
