Emma Bates Needs Our Concern

Emma Bates has done so much for Boise State over the years.  The ten-time All-American has always handled herself with so much class and been an outstanding representative of the school. 

 Now, she needs our concern.  Emma always finishes near the top of every race she is ever in.  Yesterday at the U.S.A. Cross Country Championships, when the temperature in Boulder, Colorado was an unseasonably warm 71 degrees, Bates did not finish the race.  According to a representative of U.S.A. Track & Field, and he stressed that this was "Very Unofficial", he believes that Emma required medical attention for "heat-related issues".

We can only hope that Emma is O.K. this morning.  Get the rest and fluids you need, Emma, and get better soon!
