BREAKING--Boise State and Utah State Tie for WAC Championship

Boise State came from 18 points behind in the final three events to tie Utah State for the 2011 WAC Indoor Track Championship in a dramatic finish today at Jackson's Track in Nampa.


The Broncos were two points behind headed into the 4 x 400-meter relay.  Louisiana Tech was favored in the event, Boise State was projected to finish second and Utah State third.  That result would have ended in a tie, but instead, both title contenders stepped up and finished 1-2, leaving the two teams tied with 177 points.  Boise State's winning time of 3:12.13 is a WAC meet record.


Congrats to the Broncos and Aggies--Co-WAC Champions!


This is another story brought to you first in the Boise Valley by Blue Through and Through.  No other media or internet web site has this story yet.  (3:27 p.m. Mountain Time, Saturday, Feb. 26)  Neither KTVB, KBOI, KTIK, KBCI, KIVI, KTRV or the Idaho Statesman had reported the news that Boise State had won the WAC Championships before this blog.   In fact, none of them, including Boise State's official website and the WAC web site had posted it yet as of 5:11 p.m......


This is Boise State's third conference championship this school year.  The Broncos were the co-champions in football and won the cross country championship as well.
