Last week, the check of top times in the WAC this indoor track season showed that the Boise State and Utah State men would battle for the crown later this month in Nampa. The Aggie men right now are making better strides than Boise State and now it's Utah State holding a nine-point lead in projected points at the WAC Championships.
The way this battle has shaped up in recent years, Utah State dominates the running events and Boise State does better in the field. That looks to be the case again this year. Utah State holds a commanding 124-72 advantage over the Broncos in running events, with Louisiana Tech projected for 59 points and Idaho 20. Boise State leads the field events 101-49 over Utah State, but not enough to offset the huge gap in the running events. Idaho is projected for 49 points in the field while Tech is slated to get 10 at this point.
Overall, then, Utah State is currently projected for 182 points to 173 for Boise State and 69 each for Idaho and Louisiana Tech. The Broncos have one more meet prior to the championships; and the Aggies just happen to be one of the teams invited to the Boise State Team Challenge that begins Friday.
Action gets underway at Jackson's Track Friday afternoon at 3:30. Then it's full speed ahead to the WAC Championships February 24-26.
