SALT LAKE CITY — And then there were eight.

The search for the most prominent Utahn is quickly coming to an end as some of the biggest names are paired up to see who will make it to the Final Four round of the tournament.

Former LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley won by the greatest margin of the Sweet 16 round, capturing 93 percent of the vote against Joseph Fielding Smith.

But sports figures Larry H. Miller and LaVell Edwards captured 88 percent of the vote in their respective polls as strong runners-up for the top spot. The closest competition in the last round came between David Eccles and John M. Browning. The two were stuck at 50-50 for much of the day before Browning pulled away with 51 percent of the vote.

The tournament could go many ways, so get your votes in so we can find out the final four prominent Utahns.

Once again, the rules of the tournament:

  • As has been the case throughout the tournament, this is a vote for the most prominent deceased Utahn — Donny Osmond is No. 1 in our hearts, but does not qualify for this tournament.
  • Vote on as many devices as you feel necessary to influence the vote, but don’t cheat. Cheaters will be immediately banned from commenting on future KSL.com stories — the moderators made me say that.
  • Voting will go throughout the day and will end at midnight. All votes cast after midnight will not be counted toward the total votes. Screenshots will be taken of each poll with a time stamp to avoid issues.
  • Individuals receiving the most votes will move onto the next round. The Final Four will be released Wednesday, with the championship voting taking place the following Friday.
