The Deseret News sports department is working tirelessly to identify the top-performing young athletes across our state. We are pleased to be honoring and recognizing them at this inaugural event. We will be highlighting the achievements of over 150 athletes, coaches, and teams from each high school sport.
This event will attract students and families from all over Utah as we celebrate the rising talent in an evening of awards, dinner, mingling, and inspiring speakers.
