📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Ashton & Smashton. Boise State legend and Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty returns to Albertsons Stadium on June 6 as the headlining guest of Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live, the tour's first U.S. outdoor stadium event, where he'll drive the special edition Smashton Jeanty Boise State-themed truck onto The Blue, meet fans during a VIP experience, and be part of the action all evening. Tickets available here.
🔼 On Track. Boise State track & field’s Kaiya Roberston is heading to the quarterfinals! Roberston advanced in yesterday’s 1500m with a fifth-place finish. The quarterfinal is slated for tomorrow. Amit Koma finished 28th in the women’s 10,000 meter to wrap up her season, while Emily Stefan completed her year with a 40th place finish in the long jump, and Noelani Krauss came in 42nd in the 800 meter run. Victoria Lotz’s season came to an end with a 41st place finish in the hammer throw.

🔼 Run for Dunn. The 14th annual Run for Dunn takes place Saturday, May 31, at Kristin Armstrong Municipal Park in Boise, and it’s a fitting number, matching the jersey Amy Dunn wore during her four-year career as a Boise State soccer defender from 2000-03. Dunn appeared in all 73 matches during her time as a Bronco, setting a program record, before becoming a beloved P.E. teacher and community volunteer. After a courageous battle with Stage IV melanoma, Dunn passed away in March 2012 at age 29. Her No. 14 jersey was retired in 2013, making her just the second athlete in Boise State history to receive the honor. What started as a fundraiser organized by former teammates has grown into a community event featuring a 3-mile run, free skin cancer screenings from licensed dermatologists, and melanoma awareness, especially critical in Idaho, which ranks first nationally in melanoma deaths. Registration is available at getitdunn.org.

🔼 Bulldogs Coming To Boise. Boise State men's basketball will host Butler on Nov. 8 at ExtraMile Arena, marking the first time a Big East team has visited the venue. The matchup completes a home-and-home series after the Broncos won 77-68 at Hinkle Fieldhouse last December. It is the third game announced for the 2026-27 schedule, joining a neutral-site matchup against Nebraska on Nov. 15 and a Dec. 5 trip to Wichita State.
🔼 Going Global. Boise State soccer’s Natalie Collins is heading to the international stage. Collins will take part in the U20 Philippines National Camp this summer.
