🔷 ONE BIG THING

Ahead of the conference championship this week, the Mountain West announced its 25th Season Men’s Tennis Team which featured two Broncos. Andy Bettles and Kyle Butters were each named to the team as two of the best student-athletes to come through the conference. Bettles was named the 2014 MW Player of the Year, the 2011 Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year, the 2013 ITA Mountain Region Player to Watch, three-time All-MW in singles, and two-time All-MW in doubles. In the classroom, he was a three-time Academic All-MW honoree. Butters was named the 2016 ITA Mountain Region Rookie of the Year and 2016 MW Freshman of the Year. He was also a three-time All-MW honoree in doubles and once in singles.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Among The Best. Anja Dokic and Pauline Ernstberger were selected for the Mountain West's 25th Season Women's Tennis Team for singles. Dokic played for the Broncos for two seasons, starting in 2016-2017. She was a three-time All-MW selection, earning the honor for singles twice and doubles once. Ernstberger is in her final season with the Broncos and is one of three active players on the list. She has earned All-MW singles honors three times and is a three-time MW Player of the Week award winner.

🔼 All-American Girl. Blackson’s top-eight performance in the first semifinal at the NCAA Championships earned her a spot on the WCGA All-America First Team. The Bronco scored a 9.925 on bars, marking the highest score in the event by a member of the Blue and Orange in program history.

🗣️ "I am so proud of Courtney (Blackson) and her performance. What an amazing ending to an even more amazing college career!" - Tina Bird, head coach

🔼 Memory Of A Lifetime. During Boise State football’s spring game, Weston Derrick, a.k.a Captain Brave, scored his first touchdown on The Blue. It was a touching moment that all of Bronco Nation was able to share together.

🔼 Milestone Reached. Boise State softball’s series win over Nevada not only improved the team’s standing within the Mountain West but helped head coach Justin Shults reach his 100-career win milestone. Shults joined the Broncos in the summer of 2021, and in three seasons, has impacted the team in more ways than just games in the win column.
