North Canyon High School Division II
North Canyon High School won the AIA Girls Track & Field Division II State Championship and individual championships.
"To win a team state title, it takes being selfless. This very small team proved that, along with determination, focus, and grit," said Coach Airabin Justin. "We have the smallest team throughout the year, so every student-athlete on the team plays a part in the team's success."
The individual champions are as follows:
- Joy Moorer – Long Jump & 300IH
- Gloriah Hussey – Triple Jump & High Jump
- Naomi Malone – 4X100m Relay
- J'Neya Hill – 4X100m Relay & 4X400m Relay
- Jaida Steward – 4X100m Relay & 4X400m Relay
- Oliviah Hussey – 4X100m Relay
- Ava Ardizzone – 4X400m Relay

Shadow Mountain High School Division III
The individual champions are as follows:
- Nate Pestka – 1600m, 3200m & 4X800m Relay
- Jack Rea – 4X800m Relay
- Ryan Brass – 4X800m Relay
- Kannon Boloz – 4X800m Relay
"While these were individual wins, the team aspect cannot go unnoticed as Nate Pestka, Kannon Boloz, Ryan Brass, and Jack Rea are all part of a team that trains together and lifts each other up. While only one student-athlete gets a medal, it is a true team accomplishment," said Coach Richard "Matt" Shannon.
