The Deseret News has been crowning All-Sports winners for the past 47 years, and Panguitch High just broke a record that has stood for 35 years.
Panguitch won the 1A All-Sports crown for the 12th-straight year during the 2025-26 school year, snapping the old record of 11 straight by Brighton from 1980-1991.
It wasn’t the only school that extended similar dominance in its respective classification. Lone Peak won its 10th-straight 6A title, while Morgan won its eighth straight.
The other three classification winners were Olympus (5A), Desert Hills (4A) and North Summit (2A).
The Deseret News All-Sports award denotes the top overall athletic program in each of the six classifications. Schools earn All-Sports points for placing in the top eight at state. Ten points are awarded for first, eight for second, six for third, five for fourth, four for fifth, three for sixth, two for seventh and one for eighth. Points are divided when teams tie.
Schools earn points in football, cross country, golf, basketball, wrestling, swimming, baseball, track, soccer, tennis, volleyball, softball, lacrosse, competitive cheer and drill. This is the second year the last two are calculated into the team total.
No All-Sports champs were named during the COVID-19-shortened 2019-20 school year, otherwise the streaks by Panguitch, Lone Peak and Morgan would be one year longer.
Lone Peak has been crowned 6A champ all eight years since the UHSAA added the sixth classification for the 2017-18 school year. Prior to that, it won two titles in 5A bringing its active streak to 10 straight.
Every school but eight in the entire state received at least one All-Sports point.
Here’s a look at each classification.
Class 6A
For the second year in a row and the third time in the past four years, Lone Peak has set a new All-Sports record. In 2022-23 it was 129.5 points, last year it was 131 points, and this year the Knights were a half point better as the school tallied a whopping 131.5 points.
Lone Peak has now won 10 straight All-Sports titles.
It scored points for top-eight finishes in all but six sports.
Corner Canyon finished second in the 6A standings for the third-straight year with 95 team points, with Mountain Ridge placing third with 81.5 points. It was Mountain Ridge’s highest-ever finish.
Skyridge, American Fork and Bingham rounded out the top six.
The scoring for Lone Peak was distributed almost dead even between the girls (66.5) and boys (66.0), each winning three state championships.
The boys won titles in swimming, tennis and soccer, while Lone Peak’s girls won titles in cross country, tennis and golf. Lone Peak’s boys scored points in 11 of 12 sports.

Eleven different 6A schools won state titles.
Class 5A
While All-Sports repeat winners have been the norm in most classifications in recent years, the opposite has been true in 5A.
With Olympus’ narrow win over Skyline for this year’s 5A crown, there hasn’t been a repeat winner in 5A since Corner Canyon went back-to-back in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019
Olympus racked up 72.5 points to slip past Skyline’s 68.5 points
Wasatch, Bountiful, Maple Mountain and Springville rounded out the top six.

Class 4A
Two state titles and a runner-up finish in the final couple weeks of the season pushed Desert Hills past Ridgeline to deny the Riverhawks a third-straight 4A All-Sports crown.
Desert Hills racked up 97.5 team points, with Ridgeline a close second with 91 points. Park City, Crimson Cliffs, Orem and Green Canyon rounding out the top six.
Desert Hills won three state championship this school year (boys tennis, girls volleyball and softball), and also had five second-place finishes (baseball, girls cross country, boys volleyball, girls tennis and girls swimming).
The win snapped a four-year drought for Desert Hills, which last won an All-Sports crown in 2020-21 school. That was the last of 10 straight for Desert Hills, which at the time was one short of the All-Sports record.
Ridgeline’s second-place finished was boosted by three state championships (football, boys golf and drill team) and then four top-four finishes, including runner-up finishes in girls soccer and girls wrestling.
Third-place Park City won the most state titles in 4A this year with five (boys lacrosse, girls lacrosse, girls cross country, girls swimming and girls golf).

The last school to win a 3A All-Sports title other than Morgan was Desert Hills in 2016-17, the last year before it jumped to 4A.
Class 2A
Fourteen different schools won at least one state championship in 2A this year, and that competitiveness played out in the 2A final All-Sports standings as well.
