The Ultimate Potential Scholarship Award

This award is granted to the wrestler who uses Utah wrestling as a vehicle to achieve their ultimate potential on the mat and in turn spring board them to their ultimate potential in life

Tom & Devon Gill have created a scholarship to a deserving athlete in Utah that will help them compete at the nationals in Fargo, ND as well as help with college tuition. Tom and Devon Gill are the parents of standout wrestler, Micah Gill from Mountain View High School. Micah graduated in 2014 and is now pursuing his wrestling career on scholarship at Menlo College in California.
