ERIK DAENITZ/ PARK RECORD A graduating senior at Park City High School, Sam Totten has been honored with the Eccles Distinguished Scholar Award has gone through rigorous testing for Crohn's and Celiac at Intermountain's Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo and at the U's University Hospital in Salt Lake. So far doctors have been unable to make a diagnosis. As a result of his condition Totten has struggled with losing weight and had to give up running track and cross country and he has been put on a gluten-free diet. His tests for Celiac have all come back negative, but doctors are concerned about false negatives. Sam applied to a number of schools and said the University of Texas and Boston University were two of his top choices. The University of Texas accepted him and offered a partial scholarship, but receiving such a generous all-inclusive scholarship from the University of Utah sealed the deal. He said that staying close to family and his doctors also played a significant role in his decision. Normally scholars admitted to the University Honors program are housed in the Honors College dormitories on campus, but special arrangements have been made for Totten. He'll be living in the "Officer's Circle," upperclassman housing, that is equipped with its own kitchen so that he'll be able to cook specialized meals to fit his diet, as opposed to the cafeteria food at other residence halls.
