Men's Mountain West Indoor Track Scores

Four Events to Go:


1.  New Mexico 129 (+27 from projection)
2.  Boise State 114.5 (+15.5 from projection)
3.  Air Force 106 (+1)
3.  TCU 77
5.  Colorado State 49.5
6.  Wyoming 27


Boise State is now the projected winner.  Lots of action to go and we don't know what moves the coaches have made.  But Boise State is +17 from projections while Air Force is -1.  Since Air Force was projected to win by 7.5 points, the Broncos have overtaken them to this point.  As said earlier, the home team (New Mexico) is definitely going to be a factor as well.  The Lobos were projected at 106.5 points.  They are 30 points ahead of that and threatening the top two.

Kudos to Boise State Women's Softball Team!

Boise State faced #1 Florida at the Cathedral City Softball Classic this morning and it was one of the best games of the tournament.


The Broncos brought the tying run to the plate in the third and fourth innings but could not get the key hit.  Florida has won 3-0.  The hits were even at 5 apiece, Boise State made zero errors while Florida made 3.

Home Cooking

The home team at the 2012 Mountain West Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships, New Mexico, is benefitting from the home track.  The Lobos were projected to get third and are 28 points ahead.  That would put them at 134.5 points, right behind Boise State.


The home team is definitely going to be a factor and I will include them in analysis.

Morning Outlook for MWC Swimming


This is the current score at the 2012 Mountain West Conference Swimming & Diving Championships in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

1.  Boise State 506

2.  San Diego State 503


The projected points for today's seven finals (taken from the top times on the Mountain West Conference web site) are:


1,650 Freestyle:  San Diego State 59, Boise State 25
200 Backstroke:  San Diego State 29, Boise State 19
100 Freestyle:  Boise State 42, San Diego State 28
200 Breaststroke:  San Diego State 27, Boise State 20
200 Butterfly:  Boise State 31, San Diego State 30
Platform Diving:  San Diego State 54, Boise State 32
400 Freestyle Relay:  Boise State 40, San Diego State 32


Hence, the 51-point projected win at this point.  


In the 200 Backstroke, Megan Zimmer did not make the "A" Final and will swim in the "B" final tonight for San Diego State.  Zimmer was the 7th seed, expected to get 12 points.  The most she can get now is 9.  Sydney Johanansen will be in the "A" final for Boise State; she was projected to get 4 points and will now get a minimum of 9.


SD State gave up 9 points by not entering Mikaela Macklin in the 100-yard freestyle.


Macklin swam in the 200 breaststroke and was projected to get 4th, or 15 points.  She did not qualify for the "A" final and will score 9 at the most.


SD State received bad news when Taylor Lacke, the #2 seed in the 200-yard butterfly, did not qualify for either the "A" or the "B" final, losing 17 points for the Aztecs.  Jessica Bottelberghe did not enter, but only a loss of 3 projected points there for Boise State.


As it stands now, SD State leads by 11 points.

Another Busy, Busy Day

The MWC Track & Field and the Swimming & Diving Championships wrap up today.  Boise State has a real shot at taking the men's title.  The Bronco swimmers have their work cut out for them to knock off San Diego State.


The Boise State softball team is playing #1 Florida.


The Boise State tennis team lost a close one to #16 Auburn and will meet Mississippi State shortly.


The Boise State women's tennis team takes on Arizona State.


The Boise State men's and women's basketball teams challenge Wyoming.


As usual, Blue Through and Through will keep you up-to-date like no other source available.
