Johansen Gets Upset Win in 200 IM

Freshman Sydney Johansen has come up big, for herself and for her Boise State team, shocking the Mountain West by winning the 200-yard IM tonight in Oklahoma City at the MWC Swimming & Diving Championships.


Johansen swam the distance, which includes one leg each of the freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly in 2:02.47, an NCAA qualifying time.  Christine Raininger took fifth and Jessica Bottleberghe won the "B" final as well.  Good event for Boise State!


Boise State was projected to get 30 points and they got 43 thanks to these three Broncos.  SD State was projected to get 36 and they got 33, so the Lady Broncos totally turned this event around.  That's a net plus 16 for Boise State in this event.  Still way behind SD State but they're making a dent in that huge lead.
