USU did well in the 3,000 as expected but was supposed to get 19 and only scored 14.  Boise State was slated to get 8 points and scored 7.  So the Broncos made up a little ground.  Still a slight chance for the Broncos but they almost have to win the relay.

Boise State is projected to finished second in the 4 x 400 relay and Utah State third.  That gains two points on Utah State and cuts the deficit to 23.  However, they are only projected to get 18 in the triple jump to zero for Utah State, leaving them five points shy.  That is why a win in the 4 x 400 relay would really give the team a shot.
