My Why… I am all in on JM!
by Will Trentman ‘93
ON NOVEMBER 18, 1983, I was on the turf at Rice Eccles Stadium as a water boy for the JMCHS championship football team. Almost a decade later, I graduated from JM in the spring of 1993. Thirty years beyond that, I beamed with pride as my daughter received her diploma from JM in the midst of me completing my 7th year as a faculty member at my alma mater. Just recently in May of 2024, my wife (Judge grad) and I celebrated my son (class of 2026) and his teammates winning the lacrosse state championship. Judge Memorial Catholic HS is in my blood.
In my time as a faculty member, I find myself marveling at how the halls and walls look the same but when school is in session and the building is buzzing, it has a much different look and feel than when I was here…and it is beautiful!
As a theology teacher I am blessed to hear and read the wonderful stories of our diverse student population. I am all the more blessed to see them engage each other’s unique stories and diverse world views. Beyond an exceptional education,
Changes to the Advancement Team
THIS SPRING SUSAN LOLLINI retired in April as Director of Advancement. Susan has been an ardent supporter of Judge from the time she was a parent of three graduates (’04, ’06, ’09) through her tenure in Advancement. She has made an incredible impact on the Judge Community and will be sorely missed! We wish her all the best in her next chapter.
As we look to the future, we have added several new members to the Advancement Department.
Jimmy Soto
Director of Advancement, ‘89
Jimmy brings vast experience in fundraising in higher education and particular expertise in the area of capital campaigns.
jsoto@jmchs.org
Judge provides an environment that offers simple and yet profound wisdom.
Judge leads with love, a love that is never exclusive. Every student’s story/experience is an integral part of the fabric of this community. At Judge, students are empowered to find and use their voice as well as encouraged to seek the voices of their peers. And when found, accompany each other on this journey with compassion and empathy. They exchange with each other an authentic gift of self, wrapped in humble self-awareness and perspective.
In the end, the students teach each other (and me) much more about the things that matter most than I ever could. Judge was my blessing as a student and the students are now my blessing as a teacher.
At Judge, we lead with love…we accompany with compassion and cura personalis…and we send forth with strength…empowering students to be builders of a more just society.
This is my why!

Athletics Spotlight
Domination, Dedication
WINNING STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS in swimming has become the standard here at Judge. The Bulldogs did it again, but it was a new feeling for first-year coach Will Reeves, and he had to sweat it out until the final event.
He said it was worth it, though, and his group of talented student athletes made sure he got a nice bath when their team’s goal was reached. In fact, Principal Patrick Lambert and Director of Athletics
James Cordova have started their own tradition by jumping in the pool right along with them!
The Judge boys won the final event at BYU’s pool - the 4 x 100 relay - to finish just 11 points ahead
of second place. The Judge girls, meanwhile, had an easier time, rolling up 70 points over the second place team. It was the fourth straight state championship for the Judge boys, while the girls claimed their third straight.
“I’m as excited as I could be,” said Reeves. “We had to win that last event. We knew it would be close but we told the kids it would be an opportunity of a lifetime that they could always hold on to.”
Reeves said the team was thrilled when Levi Galaviz ‘25 captured the 500-yard freestyle and then the Bulldogs won the 200-yard medley relay. Every
coach, swimmer and fan who was in attendance knew they would need the relay victory to keep that lead.
Galaviz, Frank Sankovitz ‘25 and Matt Egar ‘25 got the Bulldogs to nearly a three-second lead in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Benji Gillespie ‘24 then took over and overcame a remarkable effort by Canyon View to capture the trophy - by less than one-half of a second!
On the girls side, Delaney Dolan ‘25, who was named one of the “Star Athletes of the Week” by Deseret News, won two events and anchored another to add to her already large medal count. Dolan, who was also elected Student Body President for the ‘24-’25 school year, helped account for 80 points, which ended up being about the difference. She won the 200-yard freestyle by nearly seven seconds over the competition.
According to The Bleacher Report, “legitimate dynasties are those who besides having won three or more titles also are teams pegged with personality, super star talent and consistent “winning season.” Ladies and gentlemen, this truly is a Dynasty in the making!

Boys Basketball Wins First 3A State Championship Since 2008
WHEN JUDGE COACH SANJIN KOLOVRAT saw his team up by 10 entering the fourth quarter of the 3A state title game, he was surely confident, but the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds had taught him not to be in any way comfortable with it!
After the game had seen nine lead changes, JJ Apathjang ‘25, who was voted 3A Player of the Year by the Deseret News and coaches, unleashed a scoring barrage that fueled an 11-2 run to close out the third quarter. And, when the game was on the line with a minute remaining, just as it had been time and time again in this year’s playoffs, the ball went to senior guard Aaydan Saucedo’s hands.
The next place it found itself was in the net as Saucedo ‘24 drilled a clutch 3-pointer, sealing a successful Cinderella run for the 10-seed Bulldogs as they toppled 1-seed South Summit 65-62 to claim their first 3A state championship since 2008.
“I knew that ball was going in,” Saucedo said. “From the pass, I knew I was going to shoot that ball, and I knew it was going in, and it did.”
“The confidence (in shooting) comes from the work that these young men put in,” Kolovrat said. “Aaydan’s the best shooter in the state, I think, for a reason. He does a lot of behind-thescenes work, so we knew if we could get him open, we felt pretty good about it.”
The Bulldogs never once played as the designated home team through four rounds of the state tournament, and it’s journey of giant-killing included upsets of the No. 7 Morgan, No. 2 Emery and No. 3 Ogden before it had to topple a giant in a more literal sense, prevailing over the Wildcast and their exceptionally tall lineup uncharacteristic of typical teams.
“We knew it was going to be an uphill battle for us,” Kolovrat said. “A lot of folks, I think, counted us out back when we were 5-12, but these kids are real resilient, and I’m very proud of them. (I told them) just to try to keep (their) foot on the pedal.”
After an unlikely run, this program is back on top, and “it means a lot” to the program, to Kolovrat and to our proud and passionate Judge community.

Tracy Valentine Named Coach of the Year
Great Support from the Judge Community
TENNIS COACH TRACEY VALENTINE has been named Girls Tennis Coach 2018-19 by the Utah High School Activities Association. But it’s not an award she feels she has earned alone.
Although officially Valentine is Judge’s head tennis coach, she said she is really a co-coach with her team: Christie Brightwell and Karl Ward. Valentine and Brightwell have been girls tennis coaches at Judge for five years; Ward joined them two years ago. They also took over coaching the boys team in 2017.
Valentine was part of the tennis community in Salt Lake, when the position opened up at Judge in 2015, she was offered the job. She happily became part of the Judge athletic community (her children are students at the school) and brought Brightwell with her.
Brightwell played junior and high school competitive tennis. After receiving an education degree from Central Connecticut State College, she taught tennis privately in Arizona for several years.
The third member of the team, Karl Ward, is the head professional at Coach Mike’s Tennis Academy. He also teaches at the Salt Lake Tennis & Health Club.
When Valentine and Brightwell took over girls
tennis at Judge, the program had been through a couple of coaches in rapid succession and lacked consistency, Valentine said.
“One thing I think Tracey brought to the team is the cohesiveness, of bringing everything together under one umbrella,” Brightwell said. “I just really feel like she pulled it all together.”
Since taking over, the coaches have built a solid program. This year the Lady Bulldogs captured the regional title and came in second in state. Last spring, the boys team performed well and both programs also have a high retention rate.
Valentine said she was surprised to receive the UHSAA award. “We just do what we do; we just feel like we, not in a bad way, just play in the shadow of football season around here, so we’re just happy,” she said.
The coaches say they get great support from the Judge community.
“The support from this school, from the faculty, the administration, our athletic director – I can’t
say enough about it,” Brightwell said. “Parents and other students are at the top of the list. … It’s such a good school; it’s equal to the finest prep schools on the East Coast.”

Tony Lew Earns Mary Lou North Sportsmanship Award
First Time Coaching a High School Team
TONY LEW WAS RECENTLY HONORED by his peers for his sportsmanship. At the organization’s annual awards banquet on Feb. 5, he received the USTA/ Utah Tennis Association’s 2024 Mary Lou North Sportsmanship Award.
Lew, Judge Memorial Catholic High School Boys and Girls Assistant Tennis Coach, has been with the Judge program since fall 2022, but he began playing at the age of 5, taught by his brother and parents as he grew up in Rock Springs, Wyo. He competed in high school and on the University of Wyoming club team for four years.
After completing his undergraduate degree, Lew came to Salt Lake City to attend graduate school at the University of Utah. He began working at the Liberty Park Tennis Center, helping out at the front desk and coaching the members. There he encountered Judge head tennis coach Tracey Valentine, who offered him a position at the school.
At Judge, Lew helps players work on improving the technical side of their tennis and their strategy.
This is his first time coaching a high school team, and “it has been very rewarding,” he said. “I really love tennis, and it is a cool opportunity to be able

Lew is a great asset for Judge tennis, Valentine said. “He is super engaging with the players. He knows a lot and he is a very good tennis player, so that’s helpful to hit against the stronger players.”
“He has really embraced Judge and the teams,” she continued. “He comes to all of our Judge functions, and we can always rely on him to support the players. We couldn’t feel luckier to have him, and we’re going to keep him as long as we can.”

LaShell Robinson ‘01
The Foundation Matters - Faith and Hard Work
AS THE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DIVERSITY, Equity and Inclusion in Clinical Trials at Takeda Pharmaceutical, LaShell (Wright-Hopkins) Robinson (JM ‘01) focuses on making sure diversity is present among clinical trials. Robinson has led inclusivity operations for large companies including Johson & Johnson.
Before taking on these leadership roles that would impact the lives of millions, she first began advocating for diversity in the halls of Judge Memorial.
Robinson’s passion for diversity was seen in her extracurricular activities. As junior class representative, the founder of the Multicultural Club, and a participant of the Youth City Government, Robinson addressed the issues she viewed as important in her school community. The Multicultural Club laid the foundation for today’s on-campus affinity groups like the Black Student Union and Latinos Unidos.
“I thought it was important for everyone to have a space so that’s why my friends and I did the Multicultural Club.”
“I was super motivated in high school,” Robinson said. “There was nothing that I thought I couldn’t do.”
Following her time at Judge, Robinson attended Tuskegee University, majoring in biology. Tuskegee University, founded in 1881, is one of the oldest and most prestigious historically black colleges/universities. While there Robinson’s physics teacher was impressed with her potential and encouraged her to get involved in making medicine, as opposed to pursuing a medical degree.
Her inspiration to pursue medicine also derives from her personal experiences. Robinson’s sister, Brittney (Wright-Hopkins) Kennedy (JM ‘03) experienced extreme migraines without the proper range in medication to cure them. The frustration of seeing her sister in pain led to more passion behind her gaining a biomedical engineering degree.
“I pray for guidance. I am still a very spiritual person. I believe that God does things for a certain reason. And things will happen the way they’re supposed to. They have so far.”

Nick Kondo ’99
Animator Nick Kondo talks Spider-Verse
BEFORE HE WAS A JUDGE STUDENT, NICK KONDO (JM ‘99) grew up with an interest in three worlds: cartoons, dinosaurs, and magic. Kondo had a fascination with dinosaurs, which were the frequent subjects of his childhood drawings. The first thing he wanted to do growing up was be a paleontologist. And growing up in the Rocky Mountains, Kondo was no stranger to the outdoors.
“I did a lot of camping, a lot of hiking all throughout the desert area. And then in 1993, a movie called Jurassic Park came out. And that ended up shifting me away from wanting to dig up dinosaurs and more into the realm of wanting to bring dinosaurs to life.”
Kondo’s initial interest in dinosaurs and fictional creatures fueled his imagination, and in Jurassic Park, he saw the real world meet his fictitious one.
“That desire to dig dinosaurs up, put them in museums, and build the models that help you visualize what they might have looked like was similar to what I was seeing in “Jurassic Park,” except they’re moving in there. You’re telling stories about them, and that’s when I moved from the ‘science world’ into wanting to work in entertainment.”
At Judge, Kondo continued to draw, going through a series of graffiti and graphic design phases. There was one memorable class that influenced him, an English class taught by Mr. Sloan.
“We just had an opportunity there to make short films as assignments. I don’t really remember how long we had or what the criteria was around it, but I do remember having a lot of fun with those. And then the excitement of getting to show those to an audience – the classroom –was really exciting. And even the next year or two, when that assignment came around for friends that I had in the lower grade, I ended up helping them make their movies and then sitting in their class and watching it with them, too.”
Kondo pursued his passions, but he knew little of his future. He didn’t know how his interests in filmmaking and drawing could materialize into a career or what the world of computer animation was.
“So in high school, I didn’t know what I was going to do. And then my mother, who had moved to Washington, found a college (the DigiPen Institute of Technology) outside of Seattle that was teaching how to make video games.
“At the time, there was a lot of talk about how computers were going to be the next big thing and ‘Toy Story’ had
come out a couple years earlier. And so, I was like, ‘Well, I want to be an artist and I do like video games.’ And some of the alumni from that school had gone on to work in film. So, I just followed that route, but at that point I didn’t know what it really meant to be an artist or an animator on film or video games. I was just jumping in because that seemed like what I should do.”
During his time at DigiPen, Kondo received a generalist education surrounding 3D art and design in video games. At the time, DigiPen’s 3D art department was smaller than its surrounding departments and was housed in the same building that Nintendo was.
“So I kind of lucked out there. At the time Nintendo would come over to look at the graduating class and see if there was anybody they wanted to hire. I ended up being hired by Nintendo as a generalist artist.”
From there, Kondo spent over fifteen years in the game industry, helping tell stories through his art and animation work on games. He often found himself drawn to a game’s cinematic team, a department that creates the cinematic cutscenes that a game needs.
“In some ways I was scratching the itch of storytelling and film inside of the game industry but ultimately, I really wanted to try and get into the film industry. Properly.”
Kondo took an online animation course through Animation Mentor, a digital school that teaches computer animation.
“I ended up going back to school and doing work that everybody liked. They helped me promote the work and make connections in the industry and from that I ended up being hired by Sony out of that school.”
Kondo worked as an animator for Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” and “Angry Birds 2,” a lead animator on “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse,” and a supervisor animator on “The Mitchell’s Vs. The Machines.”
He currently works as the animation director at Supercell. “One of the things that I’m happy about is that I am doing stuff for the past 20 years that I genuinely do really love and am excited about all the time. That’s the overarching success – holding on to the thing that I really enjoyed doing and love doing and not letting go of it.”

Bulldog Press
KRISTIN THOMPSON COWAN IS AMONG the third of four generations of her family who have matriculated from Judge. As a passionate alumnae and even more passionate mother, Kristin mused “is it weird that I never thought of sending my kids anywhere else?” During her tenure as an involved parent with her daughter Oliva ‘22 and son Sam ‘24, Kristin relished the chance to give back to the Judge community. Kristin championed sports her kids were involved in, acting as Team Parent Rep for Swimming and Boys’ Lacrosse. And she also extended herself to support the entire student body by heading up Grad Night events for the last three years and establishing the Judge Senior Athlete Banners along 1300 E, a project she has selflessly offered to continue, and hopefully expand, on behalf of Judge.
Kristin and Jason have hosted fundraising parties in conjunction with the Gala for several years and their generosity and affection for this community has been felt by students, parents and faculty alike. They have truly embodied the spirit of the Champion of Youth!

Matt Voss ‘27
Freshman Selected to the Utah Chamber Artists
MATTHEW (MATT) VOSS, 15 , a a Judge Memorial Catholic High School freshman, recently became the youngest person ever to be accepted into the Utah Chamber Artists, a professional ensemble of 40 singers and 40 musicians who perform across the Wasatch Front. Matt, as he prefers to be called, will be part of the ensemble to perform at the group’s spring concert March 18 at Libby Gardner Hall at the University of Utah.
Being accepted as a member of Utah Chamber Artists is akin to “a young high school athlete to be considered an All-American,” Judge’s music director Dr. Shannon Roberts said.
“It’s absolutely phenomenal,” he added. “Singing second bass is a challenge: one has to read well, sing well, be very mature in that kind of a setting, and Matt is able to do all of that.”
Matt’s mother, Melinda Kirigin-Voss, has been singing soprano with Utah Chamber Artists since she was 19 years old and the group’s conductor Dr. Barlow Bradford filled in as director for the University of Utah a cappella choir of which she was a member. Bradford subsequently invited her to join Utah Chamber Artists, she said.
“I’m thrilled to now be singing with my son,” she said. “I’m really excited for the musical growth and learning that he’s going to experience in this choir. It’s just going to be an amazing opportunity for him to develop as a musician because this group is such an incredible group of singers. The musicianship is off the charts and Barlow [Bradford], our conductor, is just absolutely brilliant so it’s going to be a great growing opportunity for Matthew.”
From fourth through eighth grade, Matt was a student at The Madeleine Choir School in Salt Lake City, where he learned to sing choral music and was trained in music technique. He has been singing bass for a year. In May, Matt will perform a solo rendition of Shubert’s Der Erlkönig at Judge’s concert choir’s spring concert.
“He has unbelievable potential,” Roberts said of Matt. “His range is just phenomenal for a young man his age. He is really quite a talent.”
Matt was motivated to audition with the Utah Chamber Artists because “I’ve always loved going
to their concerts. The sound they make –you just can’t recreate it.”
After graduating from the Choir School, he joined Judge Memorial’s concert choir, but still missed the significant part singing played in his life, he said, so in February he auditioned to join Utah Chamber Artists.
“With Chamber Artists, high school students are almost never considered,” he said. “It is all collegeaged people and older because they want their voices to be really mature, because if a voice isn’t mature enough you don’t get the right sound.”
“Since I’ve been singing for so long it’s made me mature faster,” he said. “Also, my mom has passed down her natural talent to me.”
Matt was initially shocked when he was offered a place in the ensemble, he said. Then, “After I started to comprehend that it was real, I was very excited and very happy. I’ve always wanted to be part of this group and now that I can be, it’s just a great experience.”
Kirigin-Voss is the director of music at St. Thomas More Parish in Cottonwood Heights, where she attends services with her son. Her mother Judi Kirigin is the music director at St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Holladay, where Matt also likes to attend. Matt will be baptized during the Easter season this year.
After high school, Matt hopes to be accepted into the U.S. Air Force Academy and train as a pilot. He will consider their choir program, but will be primarily focused on his dream of becoming a pilot, he said.

Kate Bills
Revered Teacher and Administrator Retires
MS. KATE BILLS IS RETIRING after 36 years at Judge. In addition to teaching math she has also served as an assistant principal for 18 years as well as interim principal for a year.
Before coming to Judge, Ms. Bills worked in the aerospace industry at Raytheon and Alliant Tech. She also worked at the Pentagon where she was a systems coordinator for a small ICBM missile, handling legal issues, design, construction, and funding for projects.
“After that I was a stay at home mom and I loved it. But I got to the point where I just felt like I needed to be doing something with my time as my kids got older.” So she thought about teaching.
“The minute I stepped foot in a classroom as a cooperative teacher, I knew that this was what I was meant to be doing.”
And now 36 years later, she reflects on her time at Judge.
“There are so many favorite things about being a teacher. The relationships that you build with the kids is paramount. Seeing them learn. I love the aha moments when they just get something or something they’ve struggled with. They’re like, ‘Oh, I knew that’ or ‘I should have done that.’
Those aha moments just make it all worthwhile.
After a few years teaching, Ms. Bills was asked to be an assistant principal as that position required the technology skills she already had.
“I never applied for an administrative position, I was always appointed. As assistant principal I took on the responsibilities of mentoring teachers and evaluations of teachers. But it was all things I enjoyed doing because I got to work with
people and build relationships. And that’s really what it’s all about to me.”
When the diocese decided that they wanted to do a search to find the new principal, she was appointed to be the principal for a year.
“The things I loved about being principal was seeing all the things that kids do. I saw all the plays, all the performances, all the dance concerts, all the activities, all the dances. It really is 14-hour days and is a very taxing job. But that’s the part I loved. I love cheering on our Bulldogs for everything they did.”
After a busy 36 years, she plans to be a volunteer delivery person for Meals on Wheels because that service enhanced her mother’s quality of life for years. “It’s about the relationships. I hope I get to meet these people and become part of their lives and doing daily checks to make sure that they are doing okay, and so I’m looking forward to that. And spending time with grandkids.”
Throughout her time as teacher and administrator, Ms. Bills has cherished the relationships with her colleagues and students.
“What I will miss the most is working with the kids. I check my email at night because I want to be able to help them and to be able to talk them through whatever it is that they’re struggling with in terms of their assignments. I’m just going to miss the people at Judge.”
