(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.
