KSL Sports Staff Retells Their Achievements

KSL Sports TV producer Hema Heimuli was first up on KSL’s UnRivaled to discuss his most memorable sports moment and it was when he was a fullback for Bountiful High School and he had a game where he rushed for over 100 yards in a playoff game.

“I do remember that game because I rushed for over 100 yards and scored a touchdown and it was great,” Heimuli said.”I had a great game and thought I would be getting the ball a lot more the rest of the season, but that was not the case. The rest of the season I rarely touched the ball, but that was one of the best games of my life.”

Another KSL Sports member in Sam Farnsworth joined KSL’s UnRivaled to chat about his favorite sports achievement. His achievement had to do with Farnsworth being a nine-year-old, who nearly won the state championships in Utah in the shot put. However, the story does not end there as he advanced to the regional round and just missed out on going to the nationals.

However, what makes this his favorite sports moment is what his mom did for him after he finished in fourth place.

“The reason this is one of my most amazing feats of my career,” Farnsworth said. “My mom thought it was so cool that she took my silver medal and my tank top jersey and framed it. It is still on the wall in her basement today. I was in college and be home with friends and she would display it to them.”

Here are more answers from the KSL Sports and KSL NewsRadio staff on their career highlight in sports and some are just bragging with amazing achievements.

In March of 2019, I completed the Bataan Memorial Death March with 3 of my brothers-in-law. Its a marathon w/ a 35+ lb. ruck sack on your back through the desert at the @WSMissileRange.

I was legit on fire in a 3-on-3 tournament I played in as an 18-year-old. Could not miss. Got pushed down on the final play of the game, ball still went in — against the best team in our division. Un-freaking-guardable.

Scored the game-tying goal in high school water polo state championship with no time left to force OT. We lost that year, but the following year won the whole thing.

As the only person who wasn't going to quit the softball team in high school if I had to be the catcher, I think that's probably my best "take one for the team" moment. My shins have never been the same! 😂

Softball Feats, Bowling, and Dunks

These submissions come from user replies and are amazing with one in a kind achievements and some that are sort of silly.

Bowled a 245 while waiting for my car to get fixed at the shop next door…I usually bowl once a year.

I was once dropped last minute into the 2nd leg of the 4×100 freestyle in high school. I was so so nervous. (Novice on the team)

When I came out of the water I learned I gave up no ground and held our position. I felt like a million bucks.

2nd place in the 5th grade spelling bee. I think that counts because like ESPN 5 or something shows the spelling bees.

I played defensive tackle in high school and I had one game where I sacked the other team's QB three times. That might have been the only game I actually played in that season…

Getting intentionally tripped after I got a rebound, then passing the ball, springing back to my feet like a mousetrap and running down the court and cold-cocking the dude around mid-court. All with my mom watching in horror and yelling "BENJAMIN! NOOOOOOOO!" from the stands.

Intercepted a @19scottmitchell pass to help Orem beat Springville in a playoff game. Just had 1 man to beat, but even with my blazing 😉speed I couldn’t get past Scott for the pick-6. Final play of my career as I pulled a groin doing the splits on his TD-saving shoestring tackle
