Canyons School District’s first-ever districtwide middle school intramural athletics competition was notable for its formidable teams, fun atmosphere and fast-to-applaud-for-all sportsmanship. The team from Indian Hills snagged the over-all team trophy, with Crescent View and Albion winning second and third, respectively.

Teams from each of Canyons’ eight middle schools ran a 2-mile cross-country race around Eastmont Middle School’s campus. The Oct. 24 contest, which the District hopes to make an annual event, was developed to promote healthy lifestyles and gauge interest for future competitive sports programs.

Individual winners on both the boys and girls teams were awarded medals, and the fastest teams received trophies to be displayed at their schools. Canyons District’s Board of Education recognized the winners and their coaches at last week’s school board meeting.
