“Utah is so good,” BYU head coach John Brooks said. “It will be a dogfight for us, our guys have a good chance of going up there and hopefully getting a win. No matter what, it’s a chance to race and compete and that’s always huge.”

A total of six Deseret First Duel points are up for grabs in the meet, three for the men and three for the women. Utah currently holds an 11-6 overall advantage in the Deseret First Duel.
