Show t Competition, recreation and fitness Review Wednesday June 22, 1988 m Dahl captures rodeo crown HEBER CITY For the second year running, a Spiker Rodeo Club underclassman captured the title at the state high school rodeo held here Wednesday through Saturday. Cody Dahl, who just graduated from Wahlquist Junior High in CowRoy, won the boy title away from team mate and runner up Justin Hodson. Hodson was last years champion. Spikers team member Amber Poll, along with Hodson, found out how tough it is to repeat in high school rodeo. Poll won the title last year in what she called a performance. Things didnt go as well this year and she gave up her up the crown in the girls division to Lehis Andrea Allen. Poll, however, did qualify for national finals high school rodeo in the competition. The top four finishers in the state compeition qualify for nae comtionals, with the petitor in each event as an alternate. Dahl won the calf roping competition on his way to the overall title. He dropped and tied the calf in a time of 13.10 in the championship round to edge the other competitors.

Dave Madsen of Layton won the cutting competition and finished just a point out of first place in the saddle bronc division. Madsen finished second in that event. The horse wasnt all that said Madsen of his final draw in the saddle bronc competition. If he would have been better I probably would have won. He ran halfway across the arena and didnt buck well. You want them to be able to put on a show and give you a challenge, Madsen good, said. The Spikers Stacey Smith, who just graduated from Roy High, won the polebending competition. It has taken me four years, but I have finally reached my goal, Smith said. Hodson qualified for nationals in calf roping and steer wrestling. In the team roping, Cam Bennett of the Spikers and partner Dustin Durfee of Sevier qualified for nationals as did Greg Bennett and Troy Arbon. Danny Christensen and Dahl are the alternates.

I dont recommend it for somebody thats strictly a tennis player, or strictly a runner, Lindstrom said. Its a good tennis shoe and an okay running shoe. But you wont see a marathon runner in it. Somebody that runs a lot sweats quite a bit, and I wouldnt recommend an er shoe. If youre strictly into one sport, he advises getting the proper shoe for that specific sport. You can get other good tennis shoes in the $50 range, he added. But tennis players see John McEnroe and Mats Wilander playing in it and thats the shoe they want.

But now I just dont think theres the variability in the shoe that makes it the prime choice for use on the tennis court. While it might not be your first choice if youre spending the majority of your time in one sport, it could be a good choiqe to use for other sports you dont play as much. H. Coleman Scheuller, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine at the Kaysville Foot Clinic, said hes not familiar with the shoes, but, Its impossible to make a shoe thats good for everybody. With tennis, youve got totally different movements from running, and certain shoes are going to be better than another.

In the February 1988 issue of TENNIS, he told readers, In the future, I think there will be some excellent shoes for tennis play cross-spor- ts high-tec- h, high-price- d ath- letic shoes actually better than yesteryears cheap canvas sneakers? They are better, Scheuller said. They give better support and cushion and more research has gone into them. See Shoe, page 2B Good fishing on Green VERNAL If youve got a free weekend and youve been hankerin to dip a line in the water, the Northeast area of the state might be the best place to try right now. Fishing looks good for the northeastern part of the state and it has been very good on the Green River, according to Doug Young, Green River fisheries biologist with the Division of Wildlife Resources. Theres good road access and the days are warm. Its a perfect time to fish, the mayflies are beginning to hatch and the fish are taking dry flies. Anglers are also doing well on nymphs such as pheasant tails, hates ears, crane flies and scuds in the deeper water, said Young. Most of the recreational activity on the Green River is below the dam because the tributaries to the rivers, especially Red Creek, are running dirty, making the lower raches fairly turbid. The U.S. Forest Service recommends that an glers launch early, between 7 a.m. and 10 .m. and recreational boaters should launch after 10 a.m. to avoid congestion at the ramps. Lake trout, kokanee and rainbows are all hitting at Flaming Gorge, said Mike DWRs regional fisheries biologist. The water is warming up and the fish are active. The small mouth bass should also start responding to the warmer water. Both access and fishing are good on the lower elevation lakes in the Uintas added Dan Barnhurst, wildlife conservation officer. The anglers Ive checked are catching some nice fish and the main roads are mostly dry. There might be some access problems on the minor roads, some of them are still muddy. The ice is breaking up on most of the High Uinta Lakes but access is limited since there is still snow on the mountains. The warm water fisheries, Pelican Lake, Red Fleet and Stei- - in the naker reservoirs Northeatern Region of the state, are still fairly slow but should pick up for bass and bluegill as the water in these lakes gets warmer. Following is the DWRs fishing report. Bear Lake Cutthroats are cruising shorelines in preparation for spawning; some good success trolling shallows with rapallas. Blacksmith Fork - Excellent stream conditions; remember flies and lures only stretch and slot limit (two fish under 12 inches, one over 18 inches). Causey Res. - Catching a few trout near the inlets; a great place for a canoe or other small boat; some catchables stocked recently. East Canyon Creek Good water conditions; success for cutthroats and browns for those who know how to catch them. East Canyon Res. - Catching is slow; but lots of fish available; various baits.
