Figure skating at the U is a hidden gem

The University of Utah hasn’t always had a figure skating team. That sparked my interest to start the team because collegiate figure skating was growing pretty quickly in the U.S. figure skating world, and we didn’t have a team,” Lyons said. Years of work went into the celebration in August 2024, when the Utah figure skating team became an officially recognized student organization. Utah’s figure skating team was also granted the chance to host Nationals in April 2026. Long story short, the University of Utah’s figure skating team is progressively moving in the right direction.
