Analysis After 3 Days of MW Men's Track

Boise State came in with a fairly good chance of winning the men's title.  But they didn't enter an athlete despite having Adam Ruggerio as one of the tops in the conference and lost valuable points there.  The Broncos started the running events in pretty good shape, and were not expected to score huge in field events, which is a marked change from when Coach Mike Maynard led the program.

But Boise State lost a lot of points in the steeplechase.  The Broncos are the biggest losers to this point, down 16 points from projections, while Wyoming is down 12.  Everyone else is benefiting from Boise State and Wyoming's poor performances:  New Mexico has gained 31 points and now is a co-favorite along with Air Force.  The Falcons have gained 18 points while Colorado State is up 22 from projections.

Boise State is now in serious danger of finishing next to last.
