Boise State Track Team Gets Five Wins at Idaho Cup

The Boise State women won four events as the Idaho Cup got underway at Jackson's Track in Nampa.  The Bronco men weren't as fortunate, as Edidong Essien was the lone member of the men's squad to win against competition from other Idaho student-athletes.

Mele Vaisima is on a tear.  The Bronco strength star who earned All-America status at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Nampa earlier in the year scored a career best in the hammer with a throw of 183' 0".  Emma Bates captured the 1500-meters in 4:29.18, also a career best, while Andrea Morones popped a career best in the javelin with a throw of 135' 7" and Shannon Jacobs won the long jump with a leap of 17' 4.25". 

Essien won the 200-meters in 22.39, but unfortunately had no company from his teammates on the winner's stand for the Boise State men.
