BYTREVOR HORN Sports Reporter

Two years ago at the Western Athletic Conference Track and " Field Championships in Reno, Nev., the Boise State men's team was in a rebuilding pro- cess. Finishing fifth In. a field of .seven teams overall, they were in serious need of a leader 11 to step up. That weekend a 6 T foot, 5 inch lanky sophomore from Victoria, British Columbia stepped up and got the lone vic- 11 tory for the Broncos and vault- ed himself into that leadership role. Now Ray Ardill is the rock and heart of that team. "In my first year coaching, Ray stepped up and won the 400. He took a leadership role," assis- tant coach Jake Jacoby said.
