MINERS BOYS TENNIS BEATS JUAN DIEGO, B-2 www.parkrecord.com B-1 SAT/SUN/MON/TUES, MARCH 31-APRIL 3, 2018 Alpine’s ‘March Madness’ ends at nationals Eight PCSS athletes will compete at junior nationals in Washington BEN RAMSEY The Park Record On Thursday, eight Park City Ski and Snowboard Club athletes loaded their alpine gear into vans and headed north. It’s a 12-hour drive to Washington’s Mission Ridge Ski Area, which is nestled into the southeastern edge of the Wenatchee National Forest between Seattle and Spokane, and it’s the team’s most important stop of the season — the U-16 National Championships. “We’re proud,” Alpine director John Buchar said. “We had a slow start this season with the lack of snow, but the training once we got it up and running was fantastic. I think we were able to roll into the second half well prepared, and I think the results we’ve had at different levels are a testimony PHOTO BY SCOTT HATHORNE Lauren Macuga competing in a race.

Buchar said sometimes coaches come home for a night and leave the following day. “Then, it always changes because it’s an outdoor sport — you can’t predict the weather,” he said. “These coaches have to be willing to change the plan on a short notice. They work extremely hard and care tremendously for our athletes. It’s a lot of time spent on the road.” But it’s paid off in dozens of podium finishes for the club, and it’s not quite over yet. Lauren Macuga was one of the athletes making the trip north. So far, she said her best performance was at Grand Targhee, where she took second in the giant slalom and slalom races.
