Utah School Boards Association - USBA

The USBA is thrilled to congratulate Pine View High School senior Kiera Sam Fong on her nomination for Sports Illustrated High School’s National Girls Athlete of the Week!

Kiera is currently putting together one of the most dominant throwing seasons in Utah state history. Just this week, she swept all three throwing events—shot put, discus, and javelin—at the Region 9 Championships.

Why this is a big deal:

She is the first girls' athlete in Utah history to break the 50-foot mark in shot put.

She recently shattered state records during a triple-event sweep at the BYU Invitational.

Let’s show the rest of the country how Utah supports its student-athletes!
