Clearfield Senior League team wins championship JULIE BEATY, and silver medals, won at Las Vegas in front of a national television audience. National Champion tumbler 1980. -- fosinnis niov's Jmfe Beaftv unarms! By Bliss Fullmer We were thrilled, last week, to see Roys Julie Beaty perform her platform tumbling routine on national television from Las Vegas and she won first place. She also won the right to represent our nation in platform tumbling in Poland and Switzerland, come September. Julie was first exposed to tumbling, when she was ten and living in Prew, Indiana. Prew is a town for retired circus performers, and the local stars of bygone days, spend their retirement years, working with kids of the town. Julie wasnt in town long enough to become a star, but it did whet her appetite for more, and when her father, Chief Master Seargeant Joseph, and Betty Beaty transferred to Hill AFB and moved to Roy, she signed up for tumbling under the tuterage of Scott Pitcher. Julie was twelve when she won a second place ribbon in state competition. The gal who beat her out that year was another product of Roy her name is Becki Hamblin. Becki, who is two years younger, has been a nemesis, but a blessing to Julie. They were teammates, and there was no animosity between them, but Julie was determined to beat Becki in tumbling competition, and worked hard toward that goal. She felt that it might happen this year, but Becki retired from tumbling and the Dnino) odd showdown never took place. Miss Hamblin, it should be noted, was in tumbling for ten of her seventeen years and had reached the pinacle of tumbling excellence. She had a lot of respect for Julie, and described Julie as a great athlete, and super girl. When Julie was thirteen, she qualified for state and took second behind Becki Hamblin in state competition. In that same season, she travelled to San Francisco, where she took second place in the power tumbling competition for the thirteen and fourteen year old group. In her fourteenth year, Julie took second in Power tumbling in a meet in Toronto, Canada, and then returned to Utah to take first in her age group, and second, again in the open age group, because Becki was there. Julie was first in Utah in the 15 to 18 age group when she was fifteen, and placed third that year at a U.S.T.A. Regional meet in Casper Wyoming. She also placed second in the nationals, held that year in Denver. It was more of the same in Julies sixteenth year, as she was first in state, then took a first in the Casper Regional, and finished fourth in the Nationals in Denver. When she was seventeen, It was a very good year, for Julie. In addition to winning state again, she took a pair second placed. The Beatys did a lot of traveling with the military, and elected to give Julie a double dose of the fourth grade, when they moved to Roy. So, at eighteen, she was still a junior at Roy High School. She won state again, won first in the Casper Regionals, and returned to Casper to take first in the nation. That was the year that she traveled to Bulgaria, to the World Friendship Cup Meet, and she was acclaimed fifth best in the world in platform tumbling. Julie was almost nineteen when she graduated from Roy High School, last May, and she swept through state competition, as if she knew her way. She was first in the U.S.T.A. Regionals in Casper, First in the U.S.T.A. Nationals in Ohio (She also finished second in open competition), she was first in the U.S.A.F. Regionals, held in Murray, Utah, and first in the Nationals, held in Illinois. She also returned to Ohio, where she was first in the platform Nationals. During that year,, she also won a second-plac-e ribbon in Montana, a first place in Missouri, and a fourth-plac- e in Las Vegas. In national competition, she returned to Las Vegas, and this time, won all the marbles. Before that nation-wid-e audience, she performed to perfection and won the gold. With her victory, she won the trip to Poland and to Switzerland. This will be her first-evexpense paid trip, and the journey begins in New York City. The Beatys have always supported their illustrious and talented daughter, and they have spent thousands of dollars in furthering her career. They are so proud of Julie, and she has worked hard to please them. er Julie has a proud family to cheer her on. There is Annette (Mrs. John Haynes) Margaret, Mike, a student at Weber State, John, who is 16 and a junior at Roy High, and Jim, age 15, who is a sophomore at Saint Josephs High School in Ogden. , She was born in Topeka, Kansas, but found her way to Roy, Utah, through Hill Air Force Base, and we are fortunate to have such talent in d our midst. We wish Julie on her journey to Europe, and good luck in representing her community, her state and her country against the worlds best.

By Bliss Fullmer QUESTION: Harry, I see football action at the high school, and the first game isnt scheduled until August 29th. Whats going on? ANSWER: In a study made by The National Trainers Association, it was discovered that football injuries decreased tremendously if the athletes were in good physical condition before they entered the field of play. The Utah High School Activities Association, in following their has, in the last five years, relaxed its rules, and allowed the coaches to begin training early for fall football. At first the coaches began training in June, but they found out that the kids had become stale and bored by the opening of school, so they determined to begin in emest, in mid- -' July. Q. Is Utah an exception to early preparation for fall football? A. Oh no. In some states it is mandatory that teams have a minimum of fifteen practice sessions in full uniform before playing their first game. We allow the coaches all summer to prepare for the season, but they unitedly selected mid-JulQ. What kind of conditioning drills do they participate in, in July? A. At Bonneville High School, the coaches have improvised three groups of training. Their athletes are divided into three groups, and spend twenty minutes on agility drills, twenty minutes on wind sprints and running and twenty minutes in the weight room. They will follow this procedure, three days a week until August first, and then pick up the tempo to five days per week. On or about August sixteenth, they will issue y uniforms, and go into practices, on August 18th. On August 23rd, the teams will have an intersquad scrimmage, and then prepare for the season-openthe following y d that Friday. It is of their total practice has taken place before that first ball game. two-a-da- er note-worth- one-thir- Q. You say that early conditioning has played an important role in preventing injuries in football. Arent there other preventative measures taken for that purpose? A. Yes, In addition to conditioning, you have rule changes to outlaw spearing and butting; you have better equipment for better protection and you have more knowledgeable coaches. are the coaches doing that wasnt done in our day? A. They are getting their kids more physically prepared during the Q. What now-day- s, summer months, and they give them stretching, HARRY BURCHELL AND BLISS FULLMER rather than muscle- building exercises, twenty minutes before every game. Do you know that most injuries now are happening early in the third quarter right after the teams relax for a breather; they fall to get loose again before the second half action begins. The Activities Association, with the blessing of the coaches is going to insist that teams be on the field, and ready to play, three minutes, prior to kick-ofthe second-hal- f f. 2-- 4-- 6 The Clearfield Senior Allstars are managed by John Gardiner and coached by Jess Perez.

After finishing in dead last place a year ago, the Clearfield Police Department softball squad has captured first place in the Layton City League. After a disastrous season last year, the Gearfield team, which consists mostly of Clearfield Police officers, escaped with a narrow win over a National Distribution team to take home the championship. Coach Ron Campbell started things big for the Gearfield team. His base hit and another one by Steve Hill gave the Clearfield team two runners. With runners on first and second, two outs and down by two runs, Gearfields pitcher Deloy Hamblin 0-- 9 blasted a long shot triple to deep center field, scoring Campbell and Hill. Doug Peterson then became the man of the hour. He stepped to the plate and lifted a shallow hit ball to left field. The left fielder apparently misjudged the depth of the hit and allowed the ball to land in front of him which allowed the winning run to cross the plate. We won our games because of team depth and good balance, said Coach Campbell, Solid defense from Tim White, Randy Carr and Ray Gibbons and plenty of offensive power from Jeff Monzaneres, Doug Peterson and Steve Hill helped us win it. It was quite a turnaround from a year ago. Pleasant View announces football sign-uIts time once again for Pleasant View Little League football to begin fall signups.
