Guard Young
Guard Young did not participate in an OSSAA sanctioned sport for Putnam City North, but the Panther graduate is still one of the best athletes in school history. He was a two-time NCAA National Champion on the Vault for the BYU Gymnastics team and earned All-American honors six times over his career. He was a member of the United States Silver Medalist Men’s Gymnastics Team at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, making him the only Olympian in Putnam City District History. He was inducted into the BYU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. Since his competition days, he has served as a coach. As an Assistant Coach at the University of Oklahoma, he helped the Sooners Men’s Team win four NCAA National Championships. He became the BYU Women’s Head Coach in 2015.
