Wins at a Premium for Boise State at Robison Invitational

The Boise State track team is having a tough time in Provo, although a few individuals have done well.

Kurt Felix and Alexi Morton, Boise State's multi-event stars, did not compete in those events this weekend, choosing to enter individual events instead.

Following the Broncos

The Bronco track team is at the Robison Invitational in Provo, Utah today.  The Boise State men's golf team is also in Provo for the Cougar Classic, their final tuneup before the Mountain West Championships.


The Boise State softball team, which lost two games at Colorado State last weekend, needs to win this weekend against New Mexico to keep their championship hopes alive.  There is no postseason tournament, so it's win now or stay home in the playoffs.  The first game is set for 3 p.m. at Mountain Cove Field, weather permitting.

The Bronco swimming and diving team captured the first-ever Mountain West title for Boise State just a few months ago and Coach Greg Patton's Broncos are seeded #1.  The bad news is that the team with the best shot at knocking them off, San Diego State, gets to host the tournament, a huge advantage for the Aztecs.


Boise State and San Diego State both get first round byes.  #4 TCU and #5 UNLV open the tournament Friday morning at 11 with #3 New Mexico facing #6 Air Force, also at 11.  Boise State will meet the winner of the TCU-UNLV match Saturday morning at 11 while San Diego State gets the other winner.  The championship match is set for Sunday morning at 11 with the winner getting an automatic invitation to the NCAA National Tournament.

Boise State has signed Brandi Henton to a letter of intent, according to women's basketball coach Gordy Presnell.  We revealed that yesterday.  Now for the details: Brandi, a 5-9 guard, transfers to Boise State from Yakima Valley Community College.  She played her first year at Long Beach State, where she was named Big West Conference Freshman of the Year in 2011.  Henton has great speed and athleticism and should be an immediate star for the Broncos.   Henton played in nine games at Yakima Valley before a season-ending injury.  She averaged 24.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 3.1 steals.  At Long each, Henton averaged 12.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 seats in just 24 minutes a game.  Henton shot 38.3% (133-347) from the floor, including 30.1% (41-136) from three-point land and 71.9% (82-114) from the free-throw line. Brandi earned four letters in basketball at Modesto Christian High School in Modesto, California.  She helped her team win three Section championships and four Trans Valley League Titles.  Henton averaged 21.6 points a game as a senior and was CIF Division IV Player of the Year, all-league, All-CIF, All-California and was a nominee for the McDonald's All-America team.   Can't wait to see Brandi Henton in Taco Bell Arena--she could be the spark plug the team has needed!
