One of Utah's smallest schools picked up two big time awards Tuesday night at the fifth annual Governor's State of Sports Awards Dinner at Vivint Smart Home Arena.

Panguitch, a school with around 175 students, saw its girls' basketball team edge the University of Utah men's basketball and women's gymnastics teams and Davis High's national champion girls' soccer team to earn team of the year honors.

And the Bobcats' four-sport star Whittni Orton captured the high school female athlete of the year honor. Orton, who has signed to be a distance runner at BYU, was on Panguitch's state title basketball and volleyball teams, was the individual 1A cross-country champion and will lead the favored Bobcats' girls track team at state next week.

Awards are based on fan votes. Organizers said 127,000 people voted in the awards event organized by the Utah Sports Commission. Votes came from 90 countries.

Panguitch wasn't the only small-town athletic program to pick up an honor at the event.

Veteran Morgan volleyball coach Liz Wiscombe, whose team won the 3A volleyball championship with a perfect 32-0 record, was named coach of the year. She beat nominees that included Utah football coach Kyle Whittingham, Utah basketball coach Larry Krystkowiak and Southern Utah football coach Ed Lamb.

The organization awarded 86-year-old Vernon Law its lifetime achievement award. Law, a native of Meridian, Idaho, played 16 seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates. His best season came in 1960 when he went 20-9, won the Cy Young Award, and won two games in the World Series as Pittsburgh beat the New York Yankees.

James Easton, who has developed sports equipment for sports such as archery, skiing, baseball, softball, hockey and cycling with his Utah-based company, has been active in the Olympic movement, and has donated to support cancer research and athletes, also won a lifetime achievement award.

Scott Blackmun, chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic Committee since 2010, spoke at the event. He said that while concerned about Zika Virus and water quality issues for the upcoming Rio de Janeiro summer Olympics, the U.S. was fielding a team of 556 athletes ages 15 to 47 for the Games.

In a question and answer session, he said that USOC was concentrating on bringing the 2026 Olympics to Los Angeles, but said he could envision a time when the Winter Olympics returned to Salt Lake City.

In other awards, Syracuse track star Hunter Woodhall, who won the U.S. Paralympic men's 400 meters with an American record, captured the high school male athlete of the year award.

University of Utah gymnast Georgia Dabritz, the Pac-12 all-around and NCAA uneven bar champion, was the college female athlete of the year.

BYU basketball player Kyle Collinsworth was honored as the college male athlete of the year. He was the only player in the nation ranked in the top 100 in rebounds, assists and steals in 2015.

U.S. Paralympic snowboarder Nicole Roundy was the adaptive female athlete of the year.

David Blair, a long-time hammer and discus thrower, was named the adaptive male athlete of the year.

U.S. freestyle aerialist Kiley McKinnon, who won the World Cup, captured the honor as the pro Olympian female athlete of the year.

Utah Jazz star Gordon Hayward edged skier Ted Ligety, golfer Tony Finau and NFL star Ziggy Ansah as the pro Olympian male athlete of the year.

The 42-yard last-second Hail Mary touchdown pass from BYU's Tanner Mangum to wide receiver Mitch Mathews was voted as the event or highlight of the year.
