Kurt Felix, who won all four events in the first day of the heptathlon on Friday, finished strong Saturday to break his own school record and qualify for a spot in the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Nampa, Idaho March 9-10.
Felix finished third in the 60-meter hurdles, third in the pole vault and fourth in the 1,000-meters to score 5,771 points, well over his former mark of 5,691 and past the NCAA qualifying mark of 5,750.
Michael Walrath also broke a school record set by Pete Nunez in 1988 when he won the 800-meters in 1:51.23. Drew O'donoghue-McDonald, Sawyer Bosch and Danielle Valentine also put their names into the Bronco record book with top-three performances.

Bosch finished 12th in the 3000-Meter Invite competition at the Husky Invite with a time of 8:03.93, the second-fastest time ever at Boise State. Valentine soared 12-feet, 9.50-inches in the pole vault to tie for the second-best indoor mark in Bronco history.
Rolando Trammel also won the 60-meter hurdles in front of the home crowd at Jackson's Track with a personal-best of 7.90, the long jump (23-2.50) and joined Karrie Butler, Jeff Daw and Manoah Wesson on the victorious 4x400-meter relay team. Allan Schroeder won the Boise State Team Challenge Mile (4:14.82) while Taryn Treadway captured the 3,000 with a time of 10:31.43.
