Big Day Today as Broncos Try to Earn Points in Learfield Cup

Student-athletes in two sports will be counted on to earn points for Boise State in the annual Learfield Cup.  Four Bronco swimmers and four Bronco wrestlers compete at the 2012 NCAA Championships beginning today in their respective sports.
 

To this point in the Learfield Cup, the football team and the women's track team are the only ones which have scored points for Boise State.  The Bronco football team once again was ranked in the Top 10 while Mele Vaisima scored points for the women's track team just last week at the 2012 Indoor Track & Field Championships in Nampa.
Both the swimming and wrestling championships get underway at 10 this morning.  Blue Through and Through will help you track results.
 

Don't forget the home opener for the Boise State this afternoon at 3 at Mountain Cove Field in Boise. The Broncos host Minnesota.
