The Lehi Free Press is recognizing the following Lehi-area athletes with the sixth annual All-City awards for the fall 2025 season.
This program is designed to honor the best of our local high school competitors. The selections were made based on nominations from coaches, available statistical information and the results earned by each athlete in state-level competition. Final decisions were made by the newspaper staff.
In this article, we honor competitors from the cross country, girls tennis and boys golf teams. In subsequent weeks, we’ll present our All-City girls soccer, girls volleyball and football teams.

This set a strong example for the team.”
