Track: Skyline stars sign with Colorado, Boise State
A loyal recruiting trail reader has informed us that several of the state's top track & field athletes have made their college choices recently.

Shalaya Kipp, a senior at Skyline High, recently signed with the University of Colorado. Kipp is a standout cross country star and a long distance runner for the Eagles.

Another Skyline senior, Jeff Daw, recently signed with Boise State. Daw was the 5A state champion last spring in the 200 and the 400 meters.

He is ranked in the top 10 nationally in the 400 (indoors). Daw is also a standout football player who was named second-team all-region in football as a receiver and defensive back.

He had offers from BYU, Boston University and Washington.

Also, Ogden High's Franco Montes has signed with Weber State's track team.

The state's top girls soccer player, and one of the top soccer recruits in the country, has committed to North Carolina.

Alta High's Kealia Ohai recently gave an oral commitment to the ACC school, coach Lee Mitchell confirmed.

Ohai also had offers from Portland, Santa Clara, USC and UCLA, among others.

Ohai is a two-time 5A MVP and has been a part of three state championship teams at the school.

That is awsome for Kealia! And for UNC. An amazing soccer player just signed for the best women's soccer program in the nation, winners of 20 national titles in 27 years. GO Tarheels. Thats great for Ohai, she'll get to play for Anson Dorrance who is an amazing coach, and a LDS one at that. Good for her. I'm excited to watch her on the big screen in the upcoming years and hopefully in the national championships someday. She'll do well.
