Boise State Gymnasts Are #14 in the Preseason

For the second year in a row, the Boise State gymnastics team attained its highest national preseason ranking in school history.  The Lady Broncos are #14 in the GymInfo Preseacon Coaches' Poll.

Boise State was ranked #18 in last season's poll.  This year's ranking is the eighth Top 25 preseason ranking since 1997.  The veteran Bronco team from last year finished 13th, just a fraction of a point away from competing in their first-ever National Championships.

Boise State takes on four Top 25 teams this season.  The Broncos will meet #1 UCLA and #15 Illinois at the Chicago Style Meet on February 10, they will host #16 Washington and will travel to #7 Oregon State.

As was the case last year, Blue Through and Through will lead the nation in coverage of Bronco gymnastics.
