Good news. In this blog last week, I suggested that one reason for San Jose State having the best times in the WAC was because they mostly competed in pools with no altitude. Just a hunch.
And we may not know if that is a good explanation or not. But in the 200-yard medley relay today in San Antonio, Boise State bucked the odds and won the event. Denise Green, Kelly Forrester, Stevie Hughey and Kelsy Diener swam the event in 1:41.36, two seconds faster than their season best of 1:43.39. The Bronco time is four seconds better than last year, when they finished sixth. Boise State's time was just 1.48 seconds off the all-time WAC record of 1:39.88 set by SMU in 1999. San Jose State, which came in with a time of 1:43.20, did do better than that (1:42.04) but finished third. New Mexico State was second, while Idaho took fourth, followed by Hawai'i and Fresno State.
The 800-yard freestyle relay is being run now. Those are the only two finals scheduled for tonight.
