Lohman Takes 2nd in Shot Put
Will Lohman came through in the shot, but disappointing to see senior Chase Sexton go out this way after hoping to win this event. That's a net loss of five points for Boise State and a net gain of two for Air Force. Air Force has now essentially clinched the team title.

Air Force Skies to Big Lead
Unfortunately, our projections are turning out to be right and unless, the Broncos can score heavily in the 5,000, Air Force will sweep the Indoor & Outdoor Championships.
In fact, Boise State will have to outscore Air Force by about 29.5 points in the 5,000.

Air Force scored 26.5 points in the pole vault, 6.5 points ahead of projection. Chris Manuel of Boise State snuck in for 3.50 points, but it's still a net gain of three for Air Force. The Falcons just about have the team title wrapped up.

Air Force, New Mexico Make Big Gains on Boise State
Without a finalist in the 200, all Boise State could do was sit and watch. What they saw was Air Force scoring nine points in the event, three over projection, and New Mexico 10, two over projection. That enabled favored Air Force to pass Boise State in the standings. Boise State's only hope is the 5,000, where they will need to make a net gain of about 21 to win the title.
The shot put and pole vault finals are not in yet. Boise State is projected to score 14 in the shot while Air Force is projected to score 20 in the pole vault.
From this point on, Air Force is projected to score 61 points to 22 for Boise State.

Boise State's Lead Down to 5.5 Points
Boise State doesn't have a finalist in either the 200 or the 5,000, where Air Force is projected to get 22 points and take a commanding lead. At this point, Blue Through and Through's projections are turning out to be accurate.
Coach Hardy of Boise State does have one surprise, so we'll see how his strategy works. He has entered Scott Foley, Drew O'donoghue McDonald, Allan Schroeder and Sawyer Bosch in the 5,000. These four have not run this distance this year but are all cross country runners. This is a good move but Boise State needs to get about 10 points in this event and hold Air Force to about 8 to have a chance for the team title.

Men's 400-Meter Hurdles Results
Well, a mixed bag for Boise State. Rolando Trammel obviously had a problem and finished eighth. But Bret Scheve picked up the slack as the freshman scored four points. Together, that is four points lower than expected for Boise State. We hope Rolando is OK. Air Force scored two points lower so a net gain of two points for Air Force. New Mexico scored 5 points, one less than projected. So Boise State still leads but the margin is shrinking with each event.

Klein & Moyer Run Great in 800
Dusty Klein & Matthew Moyer came through for Boise State in the 800, scoring six more points than expected. The bad news is that Air Force scored four more points than expected, so it's a net gain of two points for Boise State. A few more results like this and Air Force will wrap up the team crown. (Boise State's lead is down to just 8.5 points with six events left.)

Boise State Tennis Team Loses to Florida State 4-3
The Broncos won the doubles point and had a 3-0 lead on Florida State but couldn't shut the door. It was still 3-2 with James Meredith and Nathan Sereke still playing. One of them had to win. But, first Meredith went down and then Sereke lost a tight match in three sets and FSU won the match 4-3.
The Broncos finish 26-7 on the season.
The Broncos finish 26-7 on the season.
Down to the Wire
All the matches are done except Sereke's.
Nathan Sereke lost a heartbreaking first set 7-6. He was down early 2-0, battled back to 2-2 but just lost another serve and is down 4-2. However, Nathan won the tiebreaker and stayed alive, winning the second set 7-6.
Lock leads 2-1 and had two Break points against Sereke in Game Four of the third set. But Nathan rallied to tie it up at two games apiece and stay alive for now.
My opinion was that if Boise State is going to win, it's up to Sereke. And in fact, Meredith did lose his match so the team match will be decided at #4 singles Nathan is getting a lot of first serves in.
To recap:
The Broncos won the doubles point, and Damian Hume was the first player to win a singles match so Boise State is ahead 2-0.
Andy Bettles won the first set 6-2 and the second set 6-3 to put Boise State ahead 3-0.
Fillipp Pogostkin lost 7-5, 6-4.
Scott Sears lost 6-3, 6-4.

James Meredith and Nathan Sereke just clinched the doubles point for Boise State, by winning at #1 doubles, 8-5. Meredith served the final game and the fourth time was the charm. After opening up a 40-Love lead, the Broncos lost three consecutive Match points. After Florida State had two Advantages but Meredith and Sereke fought back, finally on Advantage Boise State, the Broncos captured the point, the match, and the doubles point for Boise State. Andy Bettles and Fillippe Pogostkin won at #3 doubles, 8-2.
Damian Hume and Scott Sears, Boise State's #2 doubles team, lost 8-3, so it is up to James and Nathan.
James Meredith and Scott Sears have lost a service break at #1 and #6 singles, respectively and Damian Hume has won a break at #2 singles. (A break means that a player did not win while serving.) Meredith had five Break Points to try to get to even but has lost them all. In that game, James hit two balls that were out but did not call them. And Kelly of Florida State won the game and is up 3-1. The serve has gone South--Meredith lost his third service break and the set, 6-1.
James, however, has a break in the second set and is up 5-3.
Hume, meanwhile, is playing much better, and won his first set, 6-1. Damian also just won a second break in the second set.
Sears lost his first set 6-3.
Andy Bettles just won a second service break; he was down 40-Love in his serve but battled back to save it, and won the set 6-2. Bettles is up a break in the second set as well.
Pogostkin won an early service break but lost a serve going for the set and was just broken again to lose the first set 7-5. Florida State has won three first sets to two for Boise State.
Nathan Sereke won an early service break but just lost one and he is tied 5-5. Sereke needs to win for Boise State to still be ahead in the match.
The match is being played in Athens, Georgia, in the backyard of Florida State.

San Diego State Clinches 5th Straight Mountain West Softball Title
After Boise State lost to San Diego State on Sunday, it was just a pipe dream to still somehow win the Mountain West softball title. The Aztecs would have had to lose two of three to UNLV at Las Vegas.
San Diego State won its second game of the series last night with UNLV, 10-3, to clinch the crown and the two teams will play game three this afternoon.
Boise State, meanwhile, pretty much had to win at least two of three with #9 Texas A&M. The Broncos have stood toe to toe with the Aggies in two games, and probably deserve an at-large berth in the NCAA just because they have proven they are not too far behind the #9 team in the land. Unfortunately, close doesn't count with the NCAA, and the Broncos quite possibly will be left out of the field.
The Broncos and Aggies play game three today at 4 p.m. at Mountain Cove Field.
