Huge Week in Bronco Sports

Four conference titles and a slew of important games, meets and matches are on tap next week for Boise State.  The Broncos are in the running for three of those league championships.

The Boise State swimming and diving team will attempt to defend their WAC crown against surging San Jose State and a solid Hawai'i team when the WAC Championships are decided this Wednesday through Saturday in San Antonio, Texas.  Boise State will host the WAC Indoor Track Championships Thursday through Saturday at Jackson's Track in Nampa.  The Utah State men are favored by about 18 points but the Bronco men will try to overcome that.  Louisiana Tech is once again the solid favorite to take the women's crown.

There may be revenge on the minds of the Bronco wrestlers when they head to Corvallis to compete in the Pac-10 Wrestling Championships.  It was Oregon State that stole the thunder away from Boise State last year by winning the Pac-10 title by two points over Coach Greg Randall's team.  Boise State came back from Stillwater bruised, battered and disappointed after getting mopped up by Oklahoma State.  How will they respond to that?

As if all that wasn't enough, the #11 Boise State gymnastics team will try to move up the rankings with two home meets, hosting Wisconsin at 7 p.m. Friday and Utah State Sunday afternoon at 2.  The Broncos are hoping to score at least 196 in both events to improve their chances of making it to Nationals.

The Boise State men's basketball team has been getting it done lately and head out on the road for two WAC battles with Fresno State and Nevada.  The men's tennis team is at the acclaimed Blue-Gray Tennis Classic in Alabama Friday through Sunday while the #44 women's team hosts Arizona Friday afternoon at 1:30.  Meanwhile, the Bronco softball team returns to Las Vegas for games against UNLV, UC Riverside and Cal State Northridge this weekend.

That's a lot to follow for one fan in one week!  I'll help you out here on this blog with information, analysis and results.
