ROCK ISLAND, Ill. – The Yellowjacket women's track and field team closed out its season Thursday, competing on day two of the Augustana Midwest Twilight at the Knowlton Outdoor Athletic Complex. The Midwest Twilight, typically one of the largest meets in the region, is the last chance for athletes to qualify for the national meet.
 
Sophomore Sidney Bader (Milltown, Wis./Unity) was the lone Yellowjacket to compete Wednesday. Thursday, Bader competed again, and this time was joined by Myla Volk (Wabeno, Wis./Wabeno).
 
Bader placed 22nd in the javelin Wednesday. On Thursday, she was throwing once again, this time in the discus. Bader had a throw of 27.23 meters on her opening throw. She followed that with a 30.79-meter mark on her second throw. Bader fouled on her final attempt. The high mark achieved on her second throw earned her a 44th place finish.
 
Volk competed in the triple jump Thursday, finishing in 15th place. Volk had a jump of 9.89 meters on her first attempt and then fouled on her second. In her third and final attempt, Volk had a jump of 10.13 meters, vaulting her into the top 15 on the day. The mark was jus shy of a personal record for Volk.
