Good Morning, Boise State 4/13: Winning At Home

Plus: Raekwon Weatherspoon goes down in history.

Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Raekwon Weatherspoon headlined a big weekend for Boise State track & field, tying the program's long jump school record with a leap of 7.89 meters at the Texas A&M 44 Farms Team Invitational, a mark that matches standards set by Eugene Green (1990) and Savvas Diakonikolas (2008).

Weatherspoon also anchored the 4x100 relay quartet that clocked the fifth-fastest time in program history (40.51), while Priscilla Adu-Gyamfi ran the third-fastest women's 400-meter in school history (54.03). At the NNU Open in Nampa, the Broncos won five event titles.

Boise State recorded 22 collegiate-best marks across both meets and heads next to the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, California, April 16-18.
