The Boise State track team didn't fare particularly well at the Sun Angel Classic, but Alex Nelson did, and his hammer throw win earned Nelson an honor from the Western Athletic Conference office.
The WAC named Nelson as its Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for his performance in Tempe. Nelson tossed the hammer 208-feet, 8-inches to win the Collegiate Division event. He not only won that event, but his mark would have placed second in the so-called "Premier" hammer throw as well. Nelson now owns the best mark in the WAC this season, the only Bronco to have that distinction in any event.
