For the first time in school history, Boise State gets national team points in the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. Amber Boucher finished fourth in the "B" race of the 100-yard Butterfly Final tonight in Austin, Texas. Boucher swam the distance in 52.90, earning Boise State five team points. With those points, Boise State is now 35th in the nation. Boucher and teammate Stephanie North are both entered in the 100-yard freestyle prelims tomorrow morning with a chance to maintain or better their team standing. This will earn Boise State points in the Learfield Sports Cup, which recognizes the top university each year for the best overall sports department. Last year, a finish of #42 received 21 team points in the Learfield Cup.
