SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The Yellowjackets had two representatives on this week's Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) athlete of the week awards in Sidney Bader (Milltown, Wis./Unity) and Ellie Macal (Winona, Minn./Cotter), as the league revealed its honorees in an announcement Tuesday.
 
Bader garnered conference leads in both the shot put and javelin Friday at the CSB/SJU Optimistic Open. She placed 13th in the shot put with a mark of 10.98 meters while placing third overall in the javelin with a toss of 36.07 meters. Bader's javelin marks her 46th in NCAA Division III and second in the north region, while also breaking her own school record in the process.
 
Macal paced Superior's offensive efforts during last week's UMAC series with Martin Luther. She went 8-8 at the plate, scoring five runs and driving in seven RBIs as the Yellowjackets left New Ulm with three wins to begin conference play. She sits third in average (.510) and total hits (26) on the team while sitting fourth in the league in batting average.
 
The Yellowjacket softball team returns to action Wednesday, taking on UW-Eau Claire in non-conference action. The opening pitch is set for 3 p.m. inside the Sonnentag Center.
 
The Yellowjacket women's track and field team are set to appear at the Hamline Invite, set for Saturday at 10 a.m. on Klas Field in Saint Paul.
