Utah State redshirt senior thrower Mia Estes looks on during the 2018 Mountain West Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Estes placed second in the event.

When Mia Estes visited Utah State and Cache Valley on her recruiting trip, she immediately fell in love.

“It was a lot like Montana, so it felt like home,” Estes said.

As much as she loved it, though, Estes did not want to become an Aggie. Why? She was scared. After all, she would be following in her famous uncle’s footsteps by attending Utah State and she did not want to let the Estes legacy down.
