Basketball remained the Tri-Ute Games’ flagship sport in 2013, but many other contests grew in popularity. Over July 23 and 24, more than 300 young athletes from the Southern Ute, Ute Mountain Ute and Northern Ute tribes faced off in volleyball, swimming, bowling, cross-country and more. Organizers mixed up the events by having teams organized by tribe the first day and by random draw the second.
