Utah State's Philip Noble did not do well, opening the way for freshman Joshua Butler and sophomore Rolando Trammel to score points in the high jump.  Kurt Felx gave favorite Silcock a battle but settled for second.

The cross country runners who performed so marvelously in winning the WAC Championship for Boise State are not getting it done on the track, as Utah State's long-distance men have come back with a vengeance.  USU thoroughly dominated Boise State in the mile:

Utah State got a victory in the 60, but they were expected to score 20 and got 14 instead.  Boise State picked up an extra point thanks to the move of Coach Hardy to insert Trammel into the 60.

Boise State was supposed to get just 2 points in the 800 but scored 9.  Tremendous job by Austin Edwards coming out of nowhere to break up the USU domination.

This is now a battle between Utah State and the Broncos.  Boise State has a realistic chance.
