In a recent government meeting, notable achievements in local athletics were celebrated, highlighting the dedication and success of student athletes across various sports.

One standout was Kat, a track and field athlete who has qualified for the Nike Nationals in all four throwing events. Despite facing significant challenges, including two major hip surgeries, Kat's resilience and work ethic have propelled her to a successful athletic career, earning multiple All-American awards. She will continue her journey on a track scholarship at Brigham Young University, showcasing the potential of student athletes when provided with the right opportunities.

The meeting also recognized the Millard South boys' track team, who claimed the state championship in the 4x400 relay. Coach Edmondson praised the team's determination, noting their remarkable turnaround from earlier in the season. The relay team, consisting of Nolan Feller, Aaron Massinge, Delan Jones, and freshman Eddie Briggs, broke a school record that had stood since 1989, finishing with a time of 3:21.24.

Additionally, the Millard West baseball team was acknowledged for winning the Class A championship.
