Senior Derrick White led the team by taking fourth place in the 500 freestyle with a time of 6:31.91, and seventh place in the 200 freestyle at 2:13.94, earning a total of 28 points toward the team score.

Another proposal for 2007 would allow hunters to take more small bull elk on four of Utah's best limited entry units. All of these hunters would be under 18 years of age. The DWR will present recommendations rec-ommendations for Utah's 2007 big game seasons at a series of public meetings in November. Those who attend the meetings meet-ings can learn more about the proposals and can provide pro-vide their input and suggestions. sugges-tions. Citizens from Utah five Regional Advisory Councils will take the public input received to the Wildlife Board when it meets Nov. 30 in Salt Lake City to approve Utah's 2007 Big Game Proclamation. The Northeastern Region meeting will be Nov. 9, 6:30 p.m. at Western Park, room 2. Most of the proposals for Utah's 2007 big game season are from citizen groups, including UtahY Elk Management Plan Advisory Committee and the Cache (County) Deer Working Group. Among the proposals that will be presented at the meetings are: - 'J Ute swimmer goes the distance at with 1:17.93, earning 24 points. Freshman Greg Fugal improved each of his individual individu-al times over 11 seconds to win fifth in 100 fly at 1:20.75 and ninth in 100 breast at 1:20.16.

Reduce the number of bull elk with smaller antlers on the Monroe, Pahvant, San Juan and Southwest Deseret limited entry units in southern Utah, where the ratio of bull elk to cow elk is almost equal. The Utah Elk Management Plan Advisory Committee is recommending "management bull" hunts that would allow additional bulls, with smaller or damaged antlers to be taken on the four units. The DWR is recommending taking the additional addi-tional bulls by providing more rifle permits to hunters who are less than 18 years of age. Youth hunters who took a bull with five or less antler points could keep their bonus points, and they would not incur a waiting period. Increase the age objective by one year on all of Utah's limited lim-ited entry elk units. For example, exam-ple, the elk herds on most the units are managed so bull hunters hunt-ers take an average between four and five years of age. This proposal would increase that objective so the bulls taken by hunters averaged between five and six years of age. The proposal pro-posal would also raise by one Wednesday, November 8, 2006 - C1 1 l'7'' J Park City. points. Girls and boys relay teams racked up 190 points in all. Notable relays were the boys A Medley relay, which came in third place at 2:05.47, and the boys A 400 Free relay, which also took third at 4:09.20. Most impressive at this meet were the 32 time improvements that were made by the swimmers. Almost unbelievable were the improvements made in the 200 freestyle event. Arnell Cesspooch cut close to 38 seconds sec-onds off the eight-length swim, and Sami Meinrod improved by over 30 seconds in the same event. Top improvement of the meet was made by Freshman Scott Anderson, who took 28.37 seconds off his 100 backstroke and 33.64 off his 100 freestyle. game hunts year the age objective on three to four-year-old units and five-to five-to six-year-old units. This proposal pro-posal reverses a change the Utah Wildlife Board provided in 2005, when the age objectives objec-tives were reduced to provide more hunter with a chance to hunt limited entry bull elk.

A total of 2,000 Northern Region general season buck deer permits per-mits would be taken from the Northern Region allotment and made available for the special unit. Hunters who drew one of the permits would also receive an any bull elk permit. The hunt would take place on any bull elk units in northern Utah during the general rifle elk hunt in early October. Hunters who drew one of the permits could take one buck deer and one bull elk. Establish a shed antler ant-ler gathering season in the Northern Region.
