Emery High School has five senior student-athletes who were recognized for their excellence in the classroom during the 2025 spring season by the Utah High School Activities Association and Deseret News by being selected to the Academic All-State team in their respective sports.

Individuals are selected for the award based on their athletic ability and academic proficiency. The Academic All-State award is decided by either meeting an index score (view here) or having a 4.0 unweighted grade point average.

A trio of Lady Spartan softball players—Kali Jensen, Katelyn Nielson, and TaiLynn Minchey—earned the honor. The Lady Spartans are winding down their regular season, and on Friday, they will face the Manti Templars in the final contest before the postseason. Emery holds a 16-11 overall mark with an 11-2 mark in Region 12. They have the No. 6 spot in the latest RPI.

Hayden Christiansen and Jace Frandsen earned honors for their play on the baseball diamond. Emery has a 6-13 overall record and is 2-6 in Region 12 play. They also hold the No. 12 spot in the latest RPI. The Spartans get back to work on Friday when they travel to Richfield to take on the Wildcats.

Castle Country Radio would like to congratulate all honorees of the Academic All-State Awards.
