Utah’s Director of Skiing will be recognized at halftime of Saturday’s football game vs. UCLA
SALT LAKE CITY – University of Utah director of skiing Fredrik Landstedt will be recognized on Saturday, Oct. 30 during Utah's football game vs. UCLA, as the 2019-20 recipient of the Athletics Department's Don Reddish Award. Landstedt, who also was the award's recipient in 2018-19, will be honored on-field at halftime of the game at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Named in honor of the legendary former Utah swimming & diving head coach, the Reddish Award is presented annually to the leader of an Olympic sport at the U deemed to have had the most successful season. Saturday's ceremony will also include 2020-21 honoree Richard Marschner (diving), with the 2019-20 recognition initially delayed due to the pandemic.
The presentation of the Reddish Award will follow an earlier recognition of the entire Utah skiing program, which is coming off of the program's 14th national championship in 2021.
"It's a great honor to receive the Reddish Award," said Landstedt. "Don is a great supporter and ambassador of Utah Athletics, and there have been some very distinguished coaches to receive this award over the years. I'm very honored to be named a recipient again."
Entering his fourth season in 2022, Landstedt has been coaching collegiate skiing for 28 years with NCAA titles at Utah in 2019 and '21. Utah was in first place at the 2020 NCAA Championships when it was cancelled at the midway point due to COVID-19. Utah had a strong regular season in 2020, winning three of the four meets held for the RMISA regular-season championship.
Utah scored over 700 points in the three meets it won during 2020, including setting an RMISA record under the current scoring rubric (implemented in 2014) with 745 points in the Colorado Invitational.
Landstedt has won NCAA Championships at three different schools (Utah 2019, '21; New Mexico 2004; Colorado 1995) over his years of collegiate coaching.
Reddish, the award's namesake, served as Utah's head swimming & diving coach for 37 years, capturing 19 conference titles and compiling a dual meet record of 267-84-6 (.701). He coached championship teams in every decade from the 1940s to the '90s, coaching continuously except for his two years served in the Korean War. He retired from coaching at the age of 68 and then served as an assistant athletics director at the U for several more years. Reddish continues to reside in the Salt Lake metro area today.
Utah skiing opens the 2022 RMISA schedule on January 2, beginning the Utah Invitational at Soldier Hollow.
