Coach Eli Brown said the team gets hungry for home meets and couldn't be more excited to host its first meet of the season in January, marking two years since it last hosted.

Just a few months after winning the Mountain West Conference Tournament and squaring off against college baseball's elite teams in an NCAA Regional, the Utes are already preparing for an encore.

The 2009-2010 version of the track and field team might look a little different than what fans are used to. The team will undergo a makeover of sorts as it loses 12 seniors from last year's squad.

"I am obsessed with continuing to build this program, and it's important to keep our momentum going," Boylen said.

Head coach Kyle Whittingham said he believes that while a starter has not been named, the offense is coming together nicely. "When I think back to last fall, we may be further ahead offensively then we were then. Only time will tell but we're doing a nice job."

Some expected the experience of Corbin Louks would win the junior the job, while others thought junior college standout Terrance Cain would have the edge, but it was true freshman Jordan Wynnwho topped the chart released this week.

Former Ute standout Luke Nevill didn't hear his name called during the NBADraft, but the New Orleans Hornets had their eye on the 7-foot-2-inch center.

On the heels of guiding the Utes to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 49 years, head coach Bill Kinneberg has been selected to serve as head coach of the 2010 USA Baseball National Team.

An NCAA basketball committee recently approved three rules changes intended to clarify block-charge calls, who can shoot free throws after an injury and the expanded use of instant replay.

The football team is right in the thick of its summer training program, which consists of early-morning conditioning and afternoon weight-training sessions.
