NCAA Regional Gymnasts are Warming Up
Boise State with a first-round bye. Last year, the Broncos performed brilliantly but were denied one of the top two positions.
Boise State One Hour Away from NCAA Regional Gymnastics Championships
Despite the NCAA doing everything it can to keep Boise State out of the NCAA National Gymnastics Championships, the Lady Broncos will try to buck the odds and defeat the homestanding Arkansas Razorbacks, who, despite a #10 ranking, get to compete in their home regional.
Action gets underway at 3 p.m. Boise State will have a bye in the first rotation and begin the day on bars.
In the SEC Championship meet, Arkansas had these scores. You will know if the home crowd is affecting the judges (it definitely will...) by comparing their scores against what Arkansas achieved at the SEC meet:
Vault: 48.525
Bars: 48.850
Beam 48.700
Floor 47.575
Boise State's scores in its final meet:
Vault 49.275
Bars 49.350

Floor 49.125

Busy Saturday Ahead for Bronco Sports
This weekend will be a little busier for Bronco fans than last week.
I imagine most fans will have their attention on the NCAA Regional Gymnastics Championships, where the NCAA most graciously placed Boise State in the home of the team they have to beat, the #10 Arkansas Razorbacks. Boise State is hoping the judges remain impartial despite thousands of Arkansas fans cheering for the home team. Ha-Ha.
But the odds were stacked against the Bronco gymnasts long before the seeding. By not scoring over 196 until late in the season, as Blue Through and Through pointed out, Boise State was unable to secure a Top 12 ranking and a #2 seed in the Regionals. That alone will influence the judges in their scores Saturday. In a perfect world, it wouldn't, but we don't have a perfect world.
Still, I can't help but think that if the gymnasts had the same chip on their shoulders that the football team has, they'd come away from Fayetteville with a berth in the National Tournament.
But the gymnasts are far from the only Bronco student-athletes we'll have our eyes on. The Boise State track team will be in Provo for an important status meet against BYU and USC--some of the members of the team are at the WAR5 Meet in Spokane, also Saturday. The Boise State women's tennis team, 1-2 in MWC play, is at San Diego State while the men's tennis team hosts Air Force Saturday at 10:30 and Weber State at 5.

Nathan Sereke Earns Mountain West Tennis Player of the Week
Nathan Sereke became the third Bronco to be honored as the Mountain West Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week, the league office announced.
Sereke helped Boise State defeat #25 Fresno State and #48 San Diego State last week, earning the Broncos a new ranking of #30. Sereke defeated Hunter Nicholas of San Diego State 6-3, 6-1 at #4 singles and his victory against Fresno State was the deciding match, a 6-2, 6-2 win over David Ayoun.
Boise State hosts a doubleheader at Appleton Tennis Center this Saturday, with a 10:30 MWC match against Air Force and a 5 p.m. tilt against Weber State.

More Bronco Softball Heroics
Allie Crump's home run in the ninth inning gave Boise State a 7-6 win in Pocatello tonight, the latest in a series of dramatic victories for the Lady Broncos.
Boise State found themselves behind 6-0 after two innings, but rallied for the win behind four long balls. The Broncos ripped three homers in the third to score five runs and cut the deficit to one. Christina Capobianco sent a shot over the left-field fence, and Tara Glover and Devon Bridges each clobbered two-run shots in the inning.
Boise State tied the game in the fifth with an unearned run, forcing extra innings and allowing Crump to deliver her shot in the ninth.
Boise State is 26-13 on the season while Idaho State falls to 4-25. Aubray Zell tossed a complete game for the win, retiring the last 16 batters she faced.
Boise State hosts UNLV in their historic Mountain West Conference opener. The Rebel girls are in for a three-game set Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Mountain Cove Field.

Bronco Nation Loses Amy Dunn to Cancer
Former Bronco soccer player Amy Dunn has died from cancer.
Dunn, 29, played defense for Boise State from 2000-2003 and still ranks eighth all-time with 73 games played. Dunn was giagnosed with Stage IV Melanoma in July 2011 and passed away last Saturday. The Bronco soccer team held an exhibition fundraiser for Dunn before the 2011 season, raising over $12,000 to help offset some of her medical expenses.
A memorial service for Amy will be Monday, April 9 at the Simplot Ballroom in the Boise State Student Union Building. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. with the service from 6-7. Parking is free in the Lincoln Parking Garage. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made at www.getitdunn.org

Boise State Captures All-Idaho Cup Title
The Boise State track and field team captured 11 individual titles in running away with the All-Idaho Cup at NNU today. The Boise State men scored 259 points while the women earned 210 points.
Idaho State, which is picked to finish seventh in the Big Sky Conference, finished second this weekend with 173.50 points on the men's side and the Bengal women's attempt to score a huge upset over the Boise State women nearly succeeded, with ISU falling short by just four points. NNU was third in both the men's competition (108 points) and the women's (111 points) while the College of Idaho was fourth with 36.50 and 61 points, respectively.
Although the University of Idaho is of course, in Idaho, the Vandals chose not to come down and compete this weekend.
Chase Sexton won the discus and shot put, heaving the discus a lifetime best 178' 11" and posting a mark of 55' 9.75" in the shot put. Trevor Kraychir won the hammer throw with a mark of 188'8". Justin Maines won the 110-meter hurdles in 14.76 while Manoah Wesson took the Cup title in the 400 with a time of 47.73. Rolando Trammel sprinted in first to take the 100 meters (11.04) while the Bronco 4x100-meter relay team won its event with a time of 41.44.
The Bronco women's 4x100-meter relay team was victorious with a time of 46.99. Tajanee Simmons won the 100-meter hurdles (15.11) while Debra Johnson won the triple jump with a career-best 40'2" and Shea Hanson captured the 3000-meter steeplechase in 11:17:63.
Boise State will be in Provo, Utah next Saturday for an important clash with BYU and USC.

Boise State Has Defeated #25 Fresno State
Andy Bettles, Fillip Pogostkin, Scott Sears and Nathan Serenke have all won singles matches to lead Boise State to a huge 4-3 upset over #25 Fresno State today in Boise.
Fresno State won the doubles point with a thrilling 9-7 win at #3 doubles. The action then moved to the singles courts, where Coach Greg Patton's team would have to win four of the six contests.
Bettles prevailed over Jean-Charles Diame 6-1, 6-0 to even the match. Pogostkin was right behind Bettles with a 6-2, 6-1 win of his own and both turned cheerleaders for their teammates. Sears dominated his opponent 6-2, 6-1, then Sereke followed with a 6-2, 6-2 victory to give the Broncos a much-needed win over a highly-regarded opponent.
The win over rival Fresno State, plus other matches that the Broncos have played this season, such as against #1 USC and Stanford, have set the foundation for a run at an NCAA tournament berth. There's lots of tennis to be played first, namely getting through the Mountain West Conference season unscathed. Boise State would like nothing better than to capture the Mountain West in their first season.
But still, you can bet the Broncos are savoring this great victory tonight. They try to preserve their 22-match home winning streak next Saturday against Air Force and Weber State.

Boise State Tennis Team Takes on #25 Fresno State
Boise State's tennis team takes on its main rival today at the Appleton Tennis Center as #25 Fresno State is in town for a showdown with the Broncos.
Coach Greg Patton's team has shown great improvement since the beginning of the season, but they will have to play their best tennis to knock off the Bulldogs. Not long ago, it was Boise State that was on top and Fresno was trying to pull the upset but now the shoe is on the other foot.
The match begins at 11 this morning.

Boise State Track Team Gets Five Wins at Idaho Cup
The Boise State women won four events as the Idaho Cup got underway at Jackson's Track in Nampa. The Bronco men weren't as fortunate, as Edidong Essien was the lone member of the men's squad to win against competition from other Idaho student-athletes.
Mele Vaisima is on a tear. The Bronco strength star who earned All-America status at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Nampa earlier in the year scored a career best in the hammer with a throw of 183' 0". Emma Bates captured the 1500-meters in 4:29.18, also a career best, while Andrea Morones popped a career best in the javelin with a throw of 135' 7" and Shannon Jacobs won the long jump with a leap of 17' 4.25".
Essien won the 200-meters in 22.39, but unfortunately had no company from his teammates on the winner's stand for the Boise State men.

Felix Breaks School Decathlon Record, Finishes 4th at Texas Relays
Kurt Felix of Boise State broke the school decathlon record by 209 points to finish fourth in the Texas Relays yesterday. Felix broke his own personal best by 509 points in totaling 7,921 in the two-day event in Austin and now owns the fifth-best mark in the world this season. Alexi Morton tied for 19th in the women's heptathlon with 4,805 points. Felix won two events among all decathletes in the prestigious meet and set personal bests in six of the 10 events. The Boise State senior led on opening day, as he usually does, but fell back because his second day doesn't include his best events. Felix finished eighth in the 110-meter hurdles yesterday to begin the competition with a career-best 14.78 seconds. Kurt finished eighth in the discus with a career-best throw of 127' 4". He then cleared 13' 9.25" in the pole vault, something he did not do in the recent NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. He then moved on to one of his best events, the javelin, where Kurt won the competition with a career-best of 229' 3". Felix completed the day with a career-best of 4:45.22 in the 1,600 meters to finish ninth in that event.

Oregon Wins 6-4
The Ducks get a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth. Boise State not quite there yet.
Oregon Ties Boise State
Game headed to extra innings. Boise State just can't get the key hit or the key out. The Lady Broncos have made four errors in the game.
Tara Glover's Single Scores Two
Boise State is once again in the lead. Tara Glover's single in the seventh has scored two to make it 4-3, Broncos. This is the third time Boise State has been ahead in the three-game series.
Two-Run Homer Puts Oregon in Front
Boise State is finding what it takes to be a Top 25 team. They have played Oregon close in two of the three games, in which the game could have gone either way, and might end up losing all three.
Oregon Error Allows Second Boise State Run
Runners on first and third with two out in the Bronco sixth, Boise State temporarily taking a 2-1 lead.
Crump Singles in Tying Run
After a force-out at home, Allie Crump singled to right to score a run. Here's the kicker: The runner on second was thrown out on a single to right field. Boy, sign that gal up to the major leagues if she can throw out a runner going from second to third, who was moving once the ball hit the ground.
Boise State Has Bases Loaded in Sixth, No One Out
This is the key point in the game. Either Boise State scores two runs or more and wins the game, or does not score and loses.
Oregon Gets a Run in the Fourth
A leadoff double and a single have produced the game's first run, and Oregon takes a 1-0 lead in the fourth.
I know that Boise State's hitters are every bit as good as Oregon's, but they haven't shown it in Eugene.

Felix Leads Decathlon at Texas Relays
Kurt Felix of Boise State leads after one day of the decathlon at the Texas Relays in Austin.
Felix has 4,194 points, two points ahead of hometown favorite Isaac Murphy of Texas. Duke's Curtis Beach, the runner-up last year at the NCAA Championships, has 3,911 points.
Felix also led the heptathlon at the NCAA Indoor Championships, but a no-height in the pole vault sent him near the bottom of the field.

Jordan Krieger's Double Scores Three
Boise State has now scored six runs in the fifth inning and lose to Oregon 14-6.
Oregon Leads Boise State Through 4
The Ducks with a 14-2 lead and Boise State about to go the way of the five-inning rule.
Finally, three outs for Oregon
The #16 Oregon Ducks scored eight runs in the bottom of the first to take the 8-0 lead over Boise State.
Ducks Strike for Two in First Inning of Nightcap
Unlike the first game, which was a pitcher's dual through 5 1/2, it already appears that the winner is going to have to score runs. Oregon leads 2-0 in the first after a double by Chambers. No one out.
Oregon Has Won Game One
The Ducks did the little things that Top 25 teams do, the bunting, the taking extra bases, the stolen bases, and Oregon prevailed in game one 4-1. Boise State learned a lot and should be ready for Game Two. The Broncos battled them to a tie through five and a half innings and should have confidence knowing they can play with the #16 team on the road.
Oregon Gets Three in the Sixth
Three bunts, an error and two hits led to three Oregon runs and the Ducks lead Boise State 4-1.
Bronco Fans Scratching Heads
Oregon has bunted three straight times to score a run and put runners on second and third. Not one of the bunts has resulted in an out.
???
???
The Mistake Does Indeed Come Into Play
Two bunts and an error have allowed Oregon to score the go-ahead run in the bottom of the sixth. A runner on second and no one out for the Ducks.
Tie Game After 5 1/2
Broncos could not push a run across despite having two in scoring position and one out. It's still 1-1.
Engelbrecht Out at Home
Katie tried to score on a grounder by Bridges, now runners at first and third with two out in the Bronco sixth. It'll be up to Allie Crump.
Caplan Comes Through With Single
Kellie Caplan laced a one-out single to center and on an error, both runners advanced. Runners on second and third with one out. The only problem with that is there is a base open for Bridges and Oregon may walk her.
Boise State Trying to Break Through in the Sixth
Katie Engelbrecht was hit by a pitch in the top half of the sixth to lead off for Boise State. Glover trying to advance her.
Boise State & Oregon Tied at 1 After 5
Each team with just one hit, only Oregon's has been the home run that tied the game in the fourth.
Oregon Gets a One-Out Walk
The Ducks have something going in the fifth with a runner on first. They like to steal in this situation also.
Boise State, Oregon Still Tied at 1
After 4 and a half innings, the Broncos and Ducks are tied. Boise State was able to get their first hit in the fifth, a single by Mackenzie Whyte.
Lindsey Chambers Hits Home Run to Tie
Oregon's Lindsey Chambers hit her seventh homer of the year to knot the score at 1-1 and break up Zell's no-hitter.
Boise State Goes in Order in the 4th
The team that wins will be the one which avoids mistakes. Boise State retired in order in their half of the fourth, Oregon coming to bat.
Zell Retires the Side in Order
After three full innings, it's still Boise State 1, Oregon 0. Neither team has a hit.
Oregon Pitcher Jessica Moore Fans the Side
Oregon's Jessica Moore came out and matched what Aubray Zell had done for Boise State, she struck out the side in the Bronco third. Oregon comes to bat in the bottom half of the inning.
Zell K's the Side
Aubray Zell struck out the side in the Oregon second, with a walk scattered in between. Still no hits for either team and after two, it's still Boise State 1, Oregon 0.
Boise State Leads Oregon 1-0 in Second
After 1 1/2 innings, Boise State continues to lead Oregon. Neither team has a hit so far.
Boise State Leads Oregon Early 1-0
Allie Crump's grounder has driven in Tara Glover, who had walked, with the game's first run. After half an inning, Boise State leads Oregon with the Ducks coming to bat.
Both teams come into the game hot--Boise State has won 11 in a row while Oregon has won 10 of 13.
Both teams come into the game hot--Boise State has won 11 in a row while Oregon has won 10 of 13.
Time for the Lady Broncos to Step Up
With a 25-10 record, 11 straight victories and 23 home victories, plus giving then-#1 Florida a battle to the finish, the Boise State softball team has proven itself to be a team on the rise.
But despite their accomplishments in a short period of time, Boise State still has never received a vote in the Top 25 in college softball. Now is the time.
Boise State plays #16 Oregon in three games at Eugene. The Broncos certainly aren't supposed to win all three nor even two of them. But if Boise State wants respect, they need to win at least one of the three games and be competitive in the other two. The two teams play a doubleheader today with games at 4 and 6 p.m. Mountain Time.
Blue Through and Through will be watching and reporting the results to you as they happen. Good luck, Coach Thorpe and the 2012 Boise State Broncos!

Boise State Wins It
Portland State advanced their runner to third on a sacrifice bunt. With one out, a fly ball was sent to right fielder Devon Bridges. Bridges snared it, then through the runner out at the plate and the game is over.
Bridges hit a two-run homer and threw out the tying run in the bottom of the eighth.
Boise State is now 25-10 and now has a great opportunity. If they can win a game or two against #16 Oregon, gotta' believe the Broncos deserve to be ranked.

Boise State Gymnasts Will Go to Fayetteville
Just announced--Boise State will participate at the 2012 NCAA Regional Gymnastics Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The NCAA no doubt did this to intimidate the team. Arkansas was the team that the judges gave tremendous scores to last year while giving subdued praise to Boise State in last year's Regional, thus keeping the Broncos from reaching Nationals by .025 of a point. Florida was #1 in the nation last year at Boise State's Regional and ended up being the team that beat out the Broncos by that .025 of a point. And Arkansas? Well, they are the host team.
Hmm.

Lady Broncos Lead Weber State 7-0
Boise State decided not to leave this game up to one swing of the bat, and is leading Weber State 7-0 after six innings. The Broncos are going for their 23rd straight home win.
Boise State Speech & Debate Team Wins PKD National Tournament
The Boise State Talkin' Broncos captured the championship at the 2011-2012 Pi Kappa Delta National Comprehensive Tournament in Overland Park, Kansas.
The National Comprehensive Tournament is a biennial competition that runs in the off-year of the biennial PKD National Championship Tournament. The Talkin’ Broncos beat out 69 other schools to take this year’s tournament championship in debate.
Sophomore Dalton Hellman was the tournament champion in open division public debate while juniors Taylor Bruun and Jon Agnew finished second in the nation in open division parliamentary debate and received the third and eighth place speaker awards, respectively.
“We have a unique situation with our program; we compete in multiple formats of debate at Boise State – something that many other programs don’t do,” said Manda Hicks, director of forensics. “When we get out of the region and have a chance to show off our versatility, it’s difficult for other teams to keep up. Boise State had six of the 16 octo-finalists in open public debate, and six of the 10 top speaker awards. We also had finalists in parliamentary debate and junior and novice divisions. Basically, out of 70 schools, we accounted for about 30 percent of the finalists in debate.”
Josh Watkins won first-place as the top speaker, was a semi-finalist in open division public debate and was recognized as the ninth best competitor in the nation with a pentathlon award. Senior Norell Conroy and junior Sabonn Dammarell reached the quarterfinals and Conroy was named as the ninth-place speaker. Robin Jensen was a quarter-finalist in open division public debate and finished as the fourth top speaker.
Lauren Bramwell finish as an octo-finalist in open public debate and garnered the second-place top speaker award. Cassandra Sullivan and Monica Cutler were octo-finalists, taking fourth and seventh-place top speaker awards. KayCee Babb and Skyler Bagler were octo-finalists in novice public debate, with Bagley earning a fifth-place top speaker award.
Watkins led Boise State with sixth-place finishes in communication analysis and after-dinner speaking, was a semifinalist in program oral interpretation and reached the quarterfinals in informative speaking.
Sullivan placed fourth in impromptu speaking and was a quarterfinalist in informative speaking, Jensen was a semifinalist in informative speaking, Tanya Medukha reached the quarterfinals in program oral interpretation while Bramwell was a quarterfinalist in poetry interpretation. Cuter reached the quarters in prose and the team of Cutler and Bramwell were quarterfinalists in duo interpretation.
Hellman, Sullivan,Agnew and Bruun won awards in extemporaneous speaking, Jensen, Bruun and Conroy took honors in improomptu speaking and Sylvia Forter was honored for her interpretation of poetry.
Individual members will compete at the National Parliamentary Debate Tournament, the International Worlds Debate Tournament and the National Individual Events Tournament.

Boise State will find out its seed and which of the nation's six Regionals the Broncos will compete in for the 2012 NCAA Regional Gymnastics Championships next week, most likely Monday. There are Regionals in both Salt Lake City and Seattle, although the Broncos could be sent elsewhere. It appears Boise State will finish the regular season ranked either 14th or 15th.
Lady Broncos Win 22nd Straight Home Game, 2-1 Over Weber State
This one was a thriller. After 5 1/2 scoreless innings, the fireworks ignited for both teams. Devon Bridges hit a two-run solo homer in the bottom of the sixth and Allie Crump followed with a homer of her own to put Boise State up 2-0. Crump's blow would prove vital.
Janel Cunningham came up and blasted a homer in the top of the seventh to cut the Bronco lead to one. But Aubray Zell settled down and got two ground outs to win the game, Boise State's 22nd straight victory at Mountain Cove Field.
The two teams meet tomorrow afternoon at 2.

BYU Finishes with 194.300 Tonight
The Broncos have 196.2 and will win, but will be short of the mark they needed. Looking at the team beam score, had they hit 49 in the event, like their coach wants them to do in each rotation, Boise State would have had, yes, a 197.100 and would have vaulted into #12 in the nation.
Potvin-Green Rolls Up a 9.950 on Floor
Star Boise State gymnast Brittany Potvin-Green scored a sensational 9.950 on floor tonight to wrap up the evening with an all-around score of 39.60.
Potvin-Green's all-around ranks #2 in the history of Boise State gymnastics and just .025 behind Lindsay Ward's school record of 39.625 set on February 29, 2004. Superb performance by the amazing Brittany Potvin-Green!!!

Boise State Collapses on Beam
The Broncos roared through the first two rotations with scores well over 49, then slumped to a miserable 48.45 on beam. Boise State now needs all perfect 10's on floor to reach 197.100.
Boise State's Two Stars Carrying Them
Amy Glass and Brittany Potvin-Green are keeping the Broncos above 49 right now in each rotation. Both have scores of 9.925 and 9.900 in the first two events. However, two sub-9.8's by teammates on the beam have the Broncos in danger of falling below the score they need.
Boise State with a 49.350 on Bars
Boise State is doing well as a team, but still some individual performances below 9.80.
Boise State Hangs On to Beat UTSA 5-3
Things got a little interesting in the seventh, thanks to a wild pitch, two errors and timely hitting by the visitors. Boise State finally put out the fire and the Broncos won 5-3.
Lady Broncos Continue to Lead 5-0
Kenzie Cole has come in in the seventh in relief of Aubray Zell with Boise State trying to close the door on UTSA.
Boise State Records a 49.275 on Vault
Boise State scored a 49.275 in the first rotation on vault tonight in their gymnastics meet with BYU at Taco Bell Arena in Boise. That is almost exactly what they need in each of the four rotations to get 197.1, the score they need to move into the Top 12.
BYU received 48.825 in their tougher rotation on bars and is right there in their competition with Boise State.
BYU received 48.825 in their tougher rotation on bars and is right there in their competition with Boise State.
The Score to Watch for the Boise State Gymnasts
Boise State needs a score of at least 197.100 tonight against BYU to reach the Top 12 in the nation. That is significant because, in the judges minds at Regionals, they will deserve to move on to Nationals. As the Broncos found out last year, extremely tough to qualify for Nationals if you are not already in the Top 12.
Action is getting underway right now at Taco Bell Arena.
Action is getting underway right now at Taco Bell Arena.
Boise State Extends Lead to 5-0
The Lady Bronco softball team now leads UTSA 5-0, thanks to a Devon Bridges solo shot. Boise State is bidding for its 21st consecutive home win, third best in the nation. Boise State leads UTSA 5-0 after five.
Boise State Leads UTSA 4-0
A three-run Allie Crump homer highlighted a four-run Bronco first and the Lady Broncos lead UTSA 4-0 at Mountain Cove Field.
Nebeker Named Gatorade Player of the Year

Bronco Men's Tennis Team Leads Ball State 3-1
Play has resumed in the Boise State Spring Break Tennis Classic on the Appleton courts. The Broncos lead Ball State 3-1.
Boise State-BYU Tonight
Don't forget Senior Night for the Boise State gymnasts, who need a score of at least 197.1 to move into the Top 12 in the nation. The Broncos host BYU in Taco Bell Arena tonight at 7!
