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.
This news is brought to you first in the Boise Valley by Blue Through and Through.

Minimum and Maximum Points for Wrestling Teams
With just one session remaining, here are the minimum and maximum points that each team can score.
Penn State 107-140
Cornell 78.5-121.5
Iowa 74-114
Arizona State 61.5-71.5
Lehigh 63.5-73.5
Wisconsin 45-72
Boise State 54-77
Oklahoma State 72-94
American 74-84
For Boise State to be fifth, the three remaining Broncos cannot lose and wrestlers from American and Oklahoma State must lose. If the Broncos win out, Wisconsin, Lehigh and Arizona State cannot catch them. But for the Broncos to be fifth, either American or Oklahoma State must lose out (or both), which would Boise State fourth. If American and Oklahoma State both have one of their wrestlers win tomorrow, the best the Broncos can do is sixth.

NCAA Wrestling Championship Scores
Session 4 is complete. Apparently the NCAA awards points for finishes that have not happened yet. The official standings they show indicate the minimum that each team will get (extra points are given for the place that each wrestler finishes.) If the wrestler loses, they will not get the points for that place normally awarded because they have already been figured into the standings.

Jason Chamberlain Meets #2 Frank Molinaro of Penn State
at 149 pounds in the semifinal tonight.
Chamberlain about ready to wrestle.
With Hall & Smith out of the championships, Boise State needs this bad.
2-1 Molinaro early.
Still 2-1 in the 3rd. Chamberlain has to get aggressive. You have to figure Molinaro will escape so Chamberlain needs the takedown.
And indeed he gets the escape.
And it's over. 4-1, Chamberlain goes down. Now just one Boise State wrestler in the finals. Earlier in the year, four were ranked #1 or #2.

About to start.
Ready to go on Mat 4--Go Hoch!
Andrew with a takedown, Lang escape. 2-1 Hochstrasser.
Hochstrasser escape in second, up 3-1 and period almost over.
Near Fall in the third, now up 6-1.
Add a near fall, up 8-1 plus riding time. Hoch has to make up for his teammates that did not win by getting bonus points.
Now they took away 2 points and Lang gets a takedown. Final 6-4.

Hall Will Face Johnny Greisheimer of Edinboro in Consolation Quarters
The next round begins within an hour. Hopefully Hall will move to decide the match early. The longer the match lasts, the more it favors his unranked opponent (any wrestler at nationals can get a takedown now and then in overtime.)
Hall wins an 11-3 major.

Swartz Bows out at Championships
Jake Swartz ended his run this afternoon with a 7-2 loss to Oklahoma State's Mike Benefiel.
Only three wrestlers remain now for the team that was once ranked #2.

Bronco Wrestlers Need to Step Up Like American Has
If American University can get three in semifinals and two in consolation, Boise State can. In the future, the team needs to learn to not get intimidated and get over wrestling "not to lose".
Boucher Qualifies in 100-Yard Fly
Amber Boucher of Boise State swam her specialty today, the 100-yard butterfly, finishing in 52.05. She qualified for the finals.
Her teammate, Stephanie North, swam in the 200-yard freestyle but did not qualify. North swam the 50-yard free yesterday in 22.67 but did not qualify. Boucher was a little faster, 22.48 but did not qualify either.
