👟 Record-setting weekend
🎾 20 & counting
🔹 And so much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Record-Setting Weekend. Boise State track and field wrapped up three days at the Bryan Clay Invitational in California, with three top-five marks in program history. Brian Kiprotich led the way, running 28:43.38 in the men's 10,000 meters to move from fifth to second all-time at Boise State, while Christian Graham's 28:57.27 checked in fifth. Alex Thompson added the third-fastest 1,500-meter time in program history (3:40.52), and the Broncos combined for 24 personal bests across the meet. Up next: the home Ed Jacoby Twilight on April 24.

🔼 20 & Counting. No. 69 Boise State men's tennis closed the regular season with a 4-0 sweep of No. 70 UNLV over the weekend, securing the program's fourth consecutive 20-win season (20-8, 4-3 Mountain West), all under head coach Luke Shields. Next up: the Mountain West Championship in Las Vegas beginning April 22.

🔼 Historic Regular Season. Boise State beach volleyball closed the regular season on a high note, going 4-0 at the Alki Invitational in Seattle to finish 19-13 overall. The Broncos beat No. 19 Washington and No. 15 Florida Atlantic on Saturday, giving Boise State four ranked victories this season, more than the program had recorded in its entire history entering 2026. Ava Anderson finished the weekend with 84 career wins, tying the program record, while the pair of Addison Moss and Elli Wolthuis reached 16 career wins together from the No. 4 position, the most by any pair in program history. The Big 12 Championship is next in Tucson from April 23-24.

🔼 On to the Next. Boise State softball fell 9-6 to UNLV on Sunday to complete the series sweep, despite rallying to tie the game three separate times. Pinch hitter Jorja Crider delivered a two-run home run in the fifth to put the Broncos up 3-2, and pinch hitter Kaylee Vieira matched that with a career-high three RBI on a three-run double in the sixth to knot it at 6-6, but UNLV responded with three runs in the seventh to close out the win. Boise State heads to San Diego State next weekend for a three-game series.

🔼 Championship Time. Boise State women's golf heads to California for the Mountain West Championship from April 21-23. Leading the way is Leia Chung, the program's all-time scoring average leader, who returned from a year-long injury absence this season to win two individual titles and set multiple program records. Under head coach Kailin Downs, who recently signed a two-year extension, the Broncos have posted their four lowest team scores in conference championship history over the past four seasons.

🔼 Battle for Idaho. Boise State men's golf hosts Idaho in the third-annual Battle of Idaho from April 20-21, with the series knotted at one win apiece. Idaho won the inaugural event in 2024 by 10 strokes, while Boise State claimed last year's title. The Broncos head into the 54-hole duel without Cole Rueck, who turned pro after finishing tied for second at PGA Tour Americas Q-School, but the remaining six-man lineup has combined for 28 top-25 finishes. The Mountain West Championship follows on May 3.
