Boise State Is One Decathlete Away From Winning WAC Track

I have done the latest projections heading into the WAC Men's Outdoor Track Championships, which are a week and a half away.

I came across an interesting statistic--The team race is nearly dead even looking at every event except the decathlon.  No one from Boise State has participated in the grueling 10-event competion this year, so consequently the lion's share of the projected points go to Utah State and Fresno State.  If Boise State had a student-athlete finish third or fourth in the decathlon, the team race would be a virtual tie between Utah State, Boise State and Fresno State.

As it is, Utah State is projected to get 168 points with no Boise State entry in the decathlon, while Fresno State is projected to score 161 and Boise State 156.  Louisiana Tech is on track to get 91 points and Idaho 72.
