Dont the Utes typically go on a couple of training trips each year? I didn’t see any mentioned in the article, is this something that typically shows up on the schedule or no?
U-ta-man – most teams don’t actually designate a “training trip” literally on their schedule. The way you can usually pick those out is if there’s a late December/early January meet in a warm-weather climate, because the NCAA requires that training trips include a meet. Often, however, those meets come as last-minute fill-ins once they find out who is on a training trip nearby.
