Boise State looks to be\u00a0on the hunt for a Mountain West Conference title, posting incredible results on the first day of the 2016 Mountain West Conference championship that ensure that this will be an exciting meet.<\/p>\n

Boise got the excitement rocking in the first event of the evening, missing their A-cut in the 200-medley relay by less than 2-tenths of a second. The team of Samantha Wicks<\/strong>, Laura Williams<\/strong>, Brittany Aoyama<\/strong>, and Katelyn Martin<\/strong> came together for a time of 1:37.63. They were followed by UNLV, who claimed second in 1:38.36, while San Diego State was third in 1:39.25.<\/p>\n

In the 1-mtr finals, Nevada freshman Sharae Zheng won the event, posting a point total of 334.25. Her teammate Krysta Palmer was a close second in 331.50, while Alexandra Caplan of San Diego State was third in 330.15.<\/p>\n

After being razor close to the A-cut in the 200-medley, Boise State left no doubt and posted a phenomenal time in the 800 free relay, crushing the previous Mountain West record set by San Diego State in 2014, and claiming an NCAA A-cut by over two seconds. The team of Emma Chard<\/strong>, Aoyama, Blake Balogh<\/strong>, and Felicity Cann<\/strong> swam an impressive 7:04.60 to win the event. Nevada claimed second, also getting their A-cut with a time of 7:05.98. San Diego State was third in 7:13.74.<\/p>\n

The Mountain West Conference Championship will continue tomorrow, with prelims\u00a0beginning at 11 am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
