🏊 Seven Local Swimmers to Watch This Season

Seven swimmers from Viewmont, Bountiful, Woods Cross, and Farmington made the Deseret News list of top returners for the 2026–27 season. Viewmont senior Thomas Chamberlain appears in seven events, including the 100 butterfly, where he swam a 50.51 at last season’s 5A state meet.

Viewmont teammate John Paul Decker made the list in the 100 breaststroke. Bountiful’s Henry Long and Woods Cross’s Ava Glissmeyer each earned spots in three events, including the 100 backstroke. Farmington’s Elsie Crowell is listed in the 200 individual medley and 100 backstroke, Jack Smart in the 50 and 100 freestyle, and Jacie Nielson in the 100 breaststroke.

With swimmers to watch at all four local high schools, there’s plenty to follow from the first meets through state. 👉 Read More

🐾 Meet Moki, a sweet girl whose family found her as a stray in Hanksville while traveling home from Lake Powell.

They brought her home and named her after one of their favorite canyons at the lake! 🏜️

Moki has a few adorable talents. Whenever her dad sneezes, she comes running to check on him. She also remembers every tree where she’s spotted a squirrel and stops to investigate each one on her walks. 🐿️

A big fan of pup cups, Moki believes every drive-thru visit should include a treat for her. And when it comes to puzzle toys? Her family hasn’t found one that can stump her yet! 🧩

Moki, we’re so glad that road trip led you to your forever family! 💙🐾
