(UWECBlugolds.com) - The UW-Eau Claire women's outdoor track and field team finished the regular season by competing in two last chance meets in an effort to qualify a few more competitors for next week's Division III national championship meet. On Thursday, the team competed at UW-La Crosse in the La Crosse Last Chance before traveling to Illinois for the Augustana Last Chance meet Friday. In La Crosse, Kelly Palmer (Jr.-Chanhassen, Minn./Chaska) provisionally qualified for nationals in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 11:09.01. In the 1,500-meter run, Hannah Humbach (Sr.-Madison, Wis./Abundant Life) and Alyssa Sybilrud (So.-Savage, Minn./Burnsville) provisionally qualified with times of 4:33.16 and 4:33.39, respectively.

Erin Schoenfelder (Fr.-Antioch, Ill./Antioch Community) and Corinna Saager (Jr.-Wausau, Wis./East) both provisionally qualified in the 400-meter hurdles with times of 1:02.91 and 1:03.41, respectively. The 4x100-meter relay team also came away with a provisional qualification, finishing in 48.29. In the field, Lindsey Haller (So.-Hartland, Wis./Arrowhead) provisionally qualified in the shot put with a toss of 12.95 meters.
