Boise State Wins Freestyle Relay

As expected, Boise State won the 800-yard freestyle relay with Amber Boucher, Emily Irvin, Jennifer Cahill and Stephanie North combining for the win.  The Broncos swam eight seconds faster (7:13.40) than their best time coming in.  


Boise State leads after the first day of competition with 108 points to 101 for favored San Diego State.  I will have a comparison of projected points to actual results shortly.  Right now, Boise State is ahead of schedule but not by enough to overtake San Diego State.  But there's plenty more action to come and chances for Boise State to make up the ground.  New Mexico is third with 99 points, UNLV is sitting in fourth with 78, Wyoming has 76, Colorado State has 64, TCU is in 7th with 55 points and Air Force has 46.
