Both Shot Put Records Fall On Day Two At MVC Championships

Zach Dove now owns the school records in the shot put, discus and hammer.

NORMAL, Ill. – University of Evansville senior Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind./Princeton Community) and graduate student Antonia Lamond (Nutley, N.J./Paramus Catholic) both broke the UE school records in the shot put events on Saturday, as the Purple Aces wrapped up day two at the 2023 Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Normal, Illinois.

Dove went a full meter past his personal-best mark, while topping former teammate Michael Boots' school record with a toss of 15.94 meters (52' 3.75") to place tenth overall in a tightly-contested field.
