🔷 ONE BIG THING

The Boise State gymnastics team made history Saturday, winning the inaugural Mountain West Championship with a score of 196.550. The Broncos defeated Utah State (196.500), San Jose State (196.400) and Air Force (195.450) to capture the program's 18th conference title, their first in the Mountain West.

Emma Loyim collected two individual victories to lead the Broncos, tying the program record for the highest beam score at a conference championship with a 9.950. Boise State scored 49.500 on the apparatus, the second-best beam mark in program history and the highest at a conference championship. Loyim tallied a 9.900 on floor to become the ninth Bronco to win multiple conference crowns in the same season.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Year End Honors. Following the championships, senior Emily Lopez was announced as MW Gymnast of the Year and head coach Tina Bird was named MW Coach of the Year. The MW also tabbed Specialists of the Year, with Lopez and Adriana Popp garnering honors. Lopez was named Bars Specialist of the Year with an NQS of 9.930. Popp earned Co-Beam Specialist of the Year honors with an NQS of 9.895.

🔼 Host Of Winners. Boise State men's tennis captured a 4-3 victory over Utah State in the championship match at the Boise State Spring Fling tournament. John Chin earned the final point for the Broncos in a three-set match on court five to secure the title. It was the first of two wins for the Blue and Orange on Saturday as the Broncos also defeated Illinois State 4-0 in the morning to advance to the title match.

🔼 Midseason Success. Boise State beach volleyball completed a successful weekend at the SLC Midseason Tournament, finishing 5-1 during the three-day event. The Broncos improved to 19-8 on the season and finished conference play 6-1 to earn the No. 2 seed at the SLC Beach Volleyball Championship. Four of the five Bronco wins were sweeps and finished 26-4 in 30 matches on the weekend.

🔼 Statement Win. After falling in the first two games against Utah State, Bronco softball earned its first conference win of the season in a 13-1 rout over the Aggies to close out the series. Boise State posted its sixth mercy-rule victory of the season thanks to the Broncos scoring two or more runs in the first four innings of the game. Five players finished with multi-RBI games with Hollie Farmer leading the way at the plate with three hits.

🔼 Placed On The Podium. Distance runner Caleb Stamper highlighted the Boise State track and field team’s double-meet weekend after two top-three finishes at the Aztec Invitational and Mangrum Invitational. Stamper ran the 800m in 1:52.42 and 1:54.04, respectively, notching two of the four top-five finishes established by the team on the weekend. As a team, the Broncos established 26 career-best performances on the weekend.

🔼 In The Spotlight. Graduate assistant Levi Stuart is in his second year working in the equipment department at Boise State Athletics while pursuing a degree in the Master of Athletic Leadership (MAL) program. Stuart assists men’s and women’s tennis, as well as soccer, and helps oversee all inventory for each individual’s assigned teams.

🗣️ "The MAL program is something that I've really enjoyed learning and being a part of. It isn't just your general education. It goes more in-depth in the world of sports, showing you how to grow as a person and leader, through real-life experience." - Levi Stuart
