About 300 Canyons middle school students starred in a March Madness-styled basketball tournament, with Indian Hills athletes netting half the competition’s first-place trophies.
The 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament, held March 15-17, 2011 at Jordan High School, is part of Canyons School District’s Middle School Intramural Athletics Program. The program, which premiered in 2009 with a 2-mile cross country race at Eastmont Middle School and has grown to include chess and Ultimate Frisbee, aims to promote healthy lifestyles and gauge interest for future competitive sports programs. First- through fourth-place winners are awarded trophies and medals; all participants receive ribbons.
