Continuing to defy the odds with the move up to 5A competition, the Uintah U’ettes placed 2nd overall and 2nd in every category at the Region 7 competition over the weekend. “We knew anything could happen and were ecstatic with our team performance and outcome,” shared coaches Karlee Stratton and Kim Jenkins. Hillcrest took top honors in a clean sweep, followed by Uintah in 2nd, and Cedar Valley in 3rd. All-Region for Uintah, were: Maycee Young, Ashley Glazier, and Emma Ryan; Academic All-Region went to senior Paige Harwood; and the team hero award went to Berlyn Bingham for always supporting her teammates, maintaining a 4.0 while working and doing drill as well as her strength and resilience in the face of much adversity. She is the co-captain for the U’ettes. State competition is coming up in February. Coach Caitlyn Gurr remarked, “If we continue to improve over the next week of practices, we fully expect to make the semis and finals and reach all our team goals!” Good luck Lady U’ettes and congratulations on your success so far!
