We are excited to celebrate student athletes who have excelled in their sport - breaking down barriers and setting records alongside their teams. From shooting the game winning shot to closing the gap on the final leg of the medley race, these athletes deserve to be recognized. Additionally, at the event we will announce the overall category winner per sport. Each of our finalists will be profiled in the Deseret News along with being honored at the awards ceremony on June 8th.
