Bronco Women Third For Now at WAC Track Championships



They won't be able to hold it, but Boise State's women are currently in third place at the WAC Track Championships in Nampa.  Utah State is in the lead with 60 points, and Nevada is in second with 50 points. Boise State is in third place with 49 points, followed by New Mexico State in fourth place with 31.50 points. Hawai'i has a hold of the fifth spot with 26.50 points, while Fresno State is in sixth place with 20 points. Louisiana Tech is in seventh with 19 points, while Idaho finishes the second day in eighth place with 16 points

Mele Vaisima finished second in the women's weight throw at the WAC Track & Field Championships at Jackson's Track in Nampa.  The Bronco senior uncorked a throw of 57-feet, 07.00 inches.


Also a nice finish for the Boise State women in one of their top events.  Senior BreAnna Craig vaulted 12-feet, 5.50 inches to take second to Utah State's Sonia Grabowska (13-11.25) in the pole vault.  Danielle Valentine of Boise State was fourth with a height of 12-5.50.


Emma Bates finished eighth in the 5,000 meters with a time of 17:40.02 to earn Boise State a point.  Louisiana Tech is expected to win the team title although Utah State is off to a great start.


Boise State's Alexi Morton, who already won gold in the pentathlon last night, has qualified for the finals of the 60-meter hurdles.
