Girls Prep Soccer: Recruits Are Everywhere
Quick question: Which high school sport in Utah will produce the most Division I recruits this year?
Quick answer: Girls soccer.
It is not even close.
Dozens of Utahns from the class of 2008 who recently wrapped up their senior seasons will sign with top college programs -- both in-state and out-of-state -- in February. Most have already made oral commitments to their chosen schools, much like football players have done.
And unlike sports such as girls basketball and volleyball, girls soccer has just one signing period -- in February.
With the help of local soccer afficionado Michael Roth of Springville and several high school coaches, we've assembled a list here of where some of the state's top seniors are heading. If you know of any others, shoot us an e-mail (drew@sltrib.com) and we will get them listed in a subsequent post.
* Bountiful's Chelsea Forbes, Orem's Anne Shallenberger, Davis' Roxy Tebbs, Timpview's Kelly Woodfield and East's Lauren Porter have committed to Utah.
* Brighton's McKinzie Olson, Timpanogos' Dana Oldroyd and Mountain View's Auna Janis have committed to BYU.
* Lone Peak's Shantel Flanary, Bountiful's Molli Merrill and Provo's Chandra Salmon have committed to Utah State.
* Davis' Kacey Williams, Alta's Natalie Cude and Highland's Britt Edman have committed to BYU-Hawaii.
* Jordan's Kristen Anderson, Bountiful's Ari Wood and Orem's Aly Tucker have committed to Weber State.
* Timpanogos' Noelle Sanders, Timpview's Kelsey Kimball, Pleasant Grove's Camille Broderick, Orem's Kaitlyn Thomas, Jaime Lyons and Brianne Larsen and Davis' Christy Brian and Collette Simmons have commited to Utah Valley State College.
