Boise State Captures All-Idaho Cup Title

The Boise State track and field team captured 11 individual titles in running away with the All-Idaho Cup at NNU today.  The Boise State men scored 259 points while the women earned 210 points.


Idaho State, which is picked to finish seventh in the Big Sky Conference, finished second this weekend with 173.50 points on the men's side and the Bengal women's attempt to score a huge upset over the Boise State women nearly succeeded, with ISU falling short by just four points.  NNU was third in both the men's competition (108 points) and the women's (111 points) while the College of Idaho was fourth with 36.50 and 61 points, respectively.


Although the University of Idaho is of course, in Idaho, the Vandals chose not to come down and compete this weekend.



Chase Sexton won the discus and shot put, heaving the discus a lifetime best 178' 11" and posting a mark of 55' 9.75" in the shot put.  Trevor Kraychir won the hammer throw with a mark of 188'8".  Justin Maines won the 110-meter hurdles in 14.76 while Manoah Wesson took the Cup title in the 400 with a time of 47.73.  Rolando Trammel sprinted in first to take the 100 meters (11.04) while the Bronco 4x100-meter relay team won its event with a time of 41.44.



The Bronco women's 4x100-meter relay team was victorious with a time of 46.99.  Tajanee Simmons won the 100-meter hurdles (15.11) while Debra Johnson won the triple jump with a career-best 40'2" and Shea Hanson captured the 3000-meter steeplechase in 11:17:63.


Boise State will be in Provo, Utah next Saturday for an important clash with BYU and USC.
