Heaney Gets 3rd in 200 Butterfly

Boise State took another event that was expected to be close and turned it into a dominating performance.  Can't say enough about Coach Kristin Hill.  Win or lose, she has done what she needed to do and more to win a conference title.  Rachel Heaney qualified for the NCAA's with her swim in taking third.


Boise State outscored SD State 31-17 in this event and now has a 22-point lead with two events left.  They'll need it.


San Diego State is expected to win Platform Diving by 22 points, meaning that indeed, the Mountain West title will come down to the defending conference champions and the upstart Broncos battling in the 400 freestyle relay for the trophy.
