Dear Friends,

On behalf of the University of Utah and University of Texas-El Paso, we invite you to return to the Mountain West for the Utah/UTEP Classic held at the University of Utah.  The tournament will be held on January 5-6, 2018. From our Olympic ski resorts to the acres of snowshoeing country, Utah is sure to offer you a range of activities. On Friday, January 5, 2017, the Great Salt Lake IE Classic will offer a four-round NFA Lincoln-Douglas tournament and a two-round individual events tournament. The UTEP Classic will be held on January 6th. The UTEP Classic will feature a four-round NFA Lincoln-Douglas tournament and a two-round individual events tournament.

SPECIAL NOTE: The University of Utah and Texas Tech University will be hosting the Mile High NPDA swing concurrent with the Utah/UTEP IE Swing on the University of Utah Campus.  The schedule has been arranged to allow full-service teams to split their competition between halves (e.g., PARLI/PARLI, PARLI/IE, or IE/IE). PLEASE NOTE: IE competitors wishing to compete in PARLI, must compete in IE’s in the second half (Sat) of the IE swing (and compete in PARLI on Thu/Fri) due to scheduling constraints. The invitation can be found here: http://www.debate.utah.edu/?page_id=8.

We look forward to seeing you in January and wish everyone the best of luck and safety in the upcoming competitive season.

Invitations attached.

Warmest Regards,

Michael Middleton (UofU) & Mary Trejo (UTEP)
