It wasnt her longest throw in the discus or her furthest toss in the javelin. She didnt score 50 points in a basketball game, but she was distinguished as an honorable mention only the third time in the history of the school that that kind of honor has come to an athlete. From over 600,000 women who played high school basketball this past year and hundreds that were nominated for the award, Karleen was one of five Utah girls who were chosen for the coveted position. The only other Clearfield athletes to win the recognition of were Kenny Gardner back in 1967 when Coach Marcus Garrett led the Falcons to the state title. The other was Jackie Beene, who now stars with the BYU Cougar womens basketball team. She won the award in 1978, the year Margo Jones led the Falcons to the state title in basketball. Sparkling Career There wont be too many young women that will come along and enjoy the kind of success that Karleen ex All-Americ- perienced these past three years at Clearfield. In volleyball, Karleen played varsity for three years while playing in several state games and making list possible her senior every all-st- year. On the cage court, Peart started out as the first player off the bench her sophomore season, in a year she played alongside Jackie Beene. Her junior season was summed up in her own words, I couldnt watch anymore, I just had to do it. Then finally her senior year, I put it all Karleen reported, together and went nuts. Pearts final cage season at Clearfield almost came to an abrupt end with a pulled tendon she suffered-midway through the regular season schedule. It was the worst thing to happen to me all my life, Ive never broken a bone or anything, said Karleen. The painful injury kept her from completing the t,l 700 , regular season schedule with her teammates, but come playoff time, Karleen was ready once again. The Falcons, with Peart at full strength again, put it all together and nearly pulled off the state championship, losing to Skyline and settling for second place. Why the drive to excell in By Dale Nelson Professor of Health, Physical Education and Recreation Utah State University For years stress tests in one form or another have been used to diagnose coronary artery disease. The usual procedure is to monitor the heart with an electrocadiogram (ECG) while the person exercises according to test protocol on a treadmill or bicycle ergometer. Blood pressure is also monitored as a part of the test. In some cases, doctors do a resting ECG or have the person take a step test while being monitored. In others, the patient steps up and down for a while and then has the heart tested with the ECG. an athletics? I was looking for a challenge two three years back and athletics seemed like the toughest challenge I could find, she said. Karleens talent doesnt stop on the basketball court. It seems to continue in every sport she decides to participate. In the spring, track and field takes the spotlight. As a junior, Peart couldnt be matched by anyone in the state in the discus event, eventually taking the state title. ' Health professionals have even gone so far as to recommend that everyone over 35 be stress tested as a part of the yearly physical examination. Stress tests are being recommended for anyone over 35 who is planning to embark on an exercise program. Do You Need a Stress Test? it wasnt possible to compare ECG findings with the amount Originally of deposits in the coronary arteris. Technological advances with coronary arteriograms (heart catheterization) have made this possible. Data are now available from a study sponsored by the Division of Heart and Vascular Disease of the. National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The answer to our question is that it wont help a great deal. The study shows, for example, that men, (who are more prone to coronary artery disease at an earlier age than women) with typical chest pain, usually do have coronary artery disease and the history is so reliable that doing a stress test doesnt add much to making diagnosis. In a fairly high percentage of cases there are false negatives and false positives, which means that somewho have no symptoms do have coronary artery disease and others who have symptoms diagnosed form the test really do not have coronary artery disease. Such negative tests simply confuse the issue and lend a false sense of e tests bring fear into security to the patient and the doctor. lives where there is nothing seriously wrong. What Does It All Mean? It means the elecAccording to Dr. Lawrence E. Lamb, the results are of is whether little test stress value, trocardiographic positive or negative, in either patients who have symptoms of heart disease or in our general population which is symptom free. Consequently, it seems obvious that millions of people who have no history of heart disease and have no symptoms to suggest heart disease should not be required to have a stress test before embarking on a sensible exercise program. The best predictive tests are those that measure your risk factors such as high blood pressure, favorable ratio of HKL-LDcholesterol, smoking, and some indirect factors such as obesity and lack of exercise. Obesity tends to influence blood pressure unfavorably and the right kind of exercise, approached sensibly, favorably influences the ratio of HDL-LDI hasten to add that somehow or other stress cholesterol. seems to lurk in the lives of many people. Dont ignore it. If I Have Heart Disease? The presence of heart disease does not mean a person should not exercise. Even when a person recovers adequately from a recognized heart attack, many heart specialists advocate a supervised exercise program. In addition, many people who engage in vigorous physical activity are found to have had a' heart attack at some time in the past. Coronary artery disease is an unpredictable disease. Even a small deposit may cause it to swell and hemorrhage under a a obstruct or narrow previously open aretery. The best route to suddenly take is preventive. Eliminate the known risk factors from your and hope that you have selected your ancestors well. This year she finished second in the same event. Peart credits much of success to her coach over the past year seasons, Margo Jones. Jones is the best coach in the state. She knows her stuff and works her players had. Im glad I came to Clearfield and not any place else, she said. With a full ride scholarship now her very own, Peart will carry on her athletic skills at Weber State College next season. Her primary emphasis will be on the basketball court, working under Jane Miner. Dont be surprised also, if Bob Hill doesnt swipe her away in the spring to add to his track and field recruiting list.

Sun sets on another prep track season special salute goes to the 1980 local prepsters who recently A represented their schools while competing in the 4-- State Track and Field Championships. Coach John Flint, being noted by fellow coaches as one of the finest prep track and field mentors in the state, took a team loaded with depth and led them to a fifth place finish in the Boys track and field meet held last Saturday at Brigham Young University. could which Weber High, realistically challenge for a state championship in a few years, were led primarily by sophomores but rallied to take the fourth place position among girls track and field teams in the state. Clearfield, the Region One Boys champion, finished fifth with 38 points, far behind powerful Orem who ended with 105 points. Top finishers among local athletes included Marvin Ellis who claimed his third straight championship in the inches. long jump with a leap of 4 Marvin, who is headed to Utah State this fall, also finished third in the 200 meter race. Junior Falcon, Mark Carter surprised everyone, including himself, by finishing second in the state in the shot put. His heave of 55- - was by far his best throw of the year. The mark busts the old school record which he set earlier in the season. Bonnevilles Lanuy Nelson, who is also headed to Utah State to play football this fall, had Carter beat in every meet until they went to Provo for the biggie. Nelson was third in the shot put. Keith Crockett of Roy finished third in the 100 meter race, he being only a sophomore. Coach Dave Brooks was proud of the effort of Dick Vierra who finished third in the discus. Roys hurdler star, Scott Howes, finished fourth in the intermediate 22-7(- hurdles. Dan Perkins of Clearfield was expected to battle for the 800 meter championship but got off to a slow start and settled for fourth place in state. Webers Jeff Reed was fifth in the and another Roy sophomore, Mike Reske was sixth in the high jump. Warriors Make Showing Webers 1980 edition of track and field stars was led by first year coach, Sue Waters. Their fourth place finish has to be admired. The star of the state show, as far as the Warriors were concerned, was sophomore Camille Davis who swept run in the new state the record time of 2:17.30. Young Camille was an inspiration to her teammates right from the start. She also teamed with Kristen Frazier, Ronda Calder and Chris Avis to set another new state mark in the 1,600 meter relay in the final event of the day. Avis was also second in the dash. Frazier, wholl attend Weber State College this coming year on a track and field scholarship, placed second in the state in the high jump. Ronda Calder was fifth in both hurdling events while Jennifer James of Roy took second in the hurdles and first in the intermediate hurdles.

MARK CARTER, Local doctor says zinc intake important for distant running By Dale Nelson Professor of Health, Physical Education and Recreation Utah State University The physical demands of long distance running are obvious and they force us into remedial measures when problems occur. Nutritional demands are much more subtle and less obvious; thus, difficulties may arise without any pressure to modify eating habits. Experienced runners ordinarily consume a diet high in carbohydrates and relatrively low in meat and animal products, which sometimes complicates a problem often created by the activity program. Add to this the fact that we dont always know whether athletes need more of some nutrients than less active people. Zinc, the most abundant trace mineral in tissues other than blood, could be one of the nutritional concerns for runners. It is the most widely distributed heavy metal in the body. Despite its widespread occurence, zinc must be consumed almost daily to prevent deficiency. It is lost from the body stores mainly in feces, sweat and urine. A state of chronic zinc defiency may result of dietary zinc intake does not counterbalance these losses over an extended period. Clinical disorders in humans attributed to chronic zinc defieincy include loss of taste and smell acuity, loss or lack of appetite, slow wound healing, and skin lesions. Runners Could Be Deficient Now, the punch line comes from a study reported in the April, 1980, issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine. Blood samples from 77 male runners with no deficiency symptoms were alayzed for serum zinc and copper. The copper, levels were within normal limits, but the mean zinc level was 20 percent below control values and published norms. A |
