Runners were competing in the six-mile and 13-mile categories, with prizes donated by local merchants. The event was sponsored by the Prospector Athletic Club. Many local contestants were among the top finishers. Ride-and-tie rivals Beverly Gray and Marit Glenne had the two top times among the women competing com-peting in the two races. Ms. Gray finished the six-mile race in 40 minutes, 15 seconds, secon-ds, while Ms. Glenne finished six minutes ahead of her nearest rival in the 13-mile 13-mile race with a time oi one hour, 30 minutes and 16 seconds. In the men's competition, the top time in the six-mile event was posted by Terry Thomas (33:02) with Steve Erickson close behind (33:45).

Two of the local squads have yet to select a catchy name, so they go by the coach's moniker. In Mon day's match, it was Mike Doilney's Goalbusters that went up against Janie Hooker's kickers. Only two goals were scored in the first half, one by Billy Hansen of the Busters, and one by Jeff of the Hooker squad. The Goalbusters did just that in the second half, booting four more into the net. Billy Hansen added two goals, and Scott Hixson and Mark Verrone each kicked in one, ending the game at 5-1. Thursday afternoon, the Goalbusters take on the Kathy Maynes kickers at the High School at 4 p.m. O 'KELLY-LE AVITT Insurance 7lcjency Inc.

The Park City High Rollers, hosting the first-ever first-ever Park City Oktoberfest Soccer Tourney, won all the marbles Sunday as they defeated Sun Valley 2-1 in overtime in the championship champion-ship match. j Named the most valuable player in the tournament was Park City goalie Russ Coburn who allowed only two goals in three games and scored the game-winner in the overtime "shoot-out" against Sun Valley. High Roller forward Karl Dolhausen also had a spec tacular weekend, scoring opposing goalie from 12 yards out. Each team made three out of five, so five different players from each were called upon to break the tie. This time Snow Basin outscored Telluride 4-3 and was declared the winner. Sunday's championship game between Park City and Sun Valley ended in a similar situation. Pat Carley opened the scoring for the High Rollers in the first half by taking a Mike Sullivan pass on the fly and heading it into the net. But Sun Valley managed to tie the score late in the game when a rolling shot took a freak hop past Coburn.

Steamboat arrived with only seven players, and had to make up the difference with volunteers from other teams. The undermanned visitors were no match for the High Rollers. They fell behind in the first half on goals by John Harvey and Pat Carley, then were demolished demo-lished in the second half by Dolhausen's hat trick. The High Rollers continued con-tinued their scoring barrage agaihst Jackson Hole Satur- " day afternoon. Dolhausen again paced the team with two goals. Meanwhile, Sun Valley was also on its way to the championship round, 'shut-' ting out Snow Basin ( 1-0) and Telluride (2-0) in Saturday's preliminary rounds. ' In other matches Splayed Saturday, Steamboat defeated de-feated Jackson Hole 3-1 and Snow Basin edged Telluride 3-2. , . ' The Snow Basin-Telluride contest was tied 2-2 at the end of regulation time, so the two teams held a shoot-out. Each team had five different players take shots at the still tied, so a shoot-out was called, with each team given five shots. After each team had taken four shots, the shoot-out was tied at 2-2. Park City goals were scored by John Harvey and Mike Sullivan. Then, in the fifth round, Russ Coburn booted a hard shot just inside the post to give the High Rollers a 3-2 advantage. That lead held up as a Sun Valley player banged his shot off the Park City goal post. The High Rollers were declared the winners of the tournament. In the battle for third place, Snow Basin overwhelmed over-whelmed Steamboat 8-2, while Jackson blanked Telluride Tellu-ride to take the fifth spot. "Everyone had a good time," Park City captain Garry Moore said later. "They all said they wanted to come back. "I wish there had been a bigger turnout of local people, but it wasn't too bad." Moore expressed his thanks to his teammates for helping organize the tournament, tour-nament, to the Park City Resort for sponsoring the team, and to Pat Carley for his imported gift. hv RiVhard Barnum-Beere sports Journal w?. i-.tojbil yistioi k h-vh b bfiri hoi; An Endurance Race to Beat All Open vAis and soy'Ahkhi7 fftS ( Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner Sunday Thursday, 7 a.m. 10 p.m. Frfday & Saturday, 7 a.m.-ll p.m. .

"You can see as far as Nevada," he said. "It's absolutely incredible." Cheney, along with five other runners, was on his way to the Sundance Ski Resort just east of Provo. They were participating in the first annual Wasatch Front 100-mile endurance en-durance run, and no one among the group knew if he could make the distance. But for Cheney, who did not make the distance, it didn't matter. The 32-year-old Weber State College student was on a Saturday stroll. Never mind that later on, as he ran up the canyon, he had to dive into his bag of tricks and become a rock climber who could maneuver among craggy terrain that most hikers Would a void. "I don't know," Cheney admitted, "it's just kind of like this : I like to get out and enjoy the country and now with the leaves as beautiful as they are, well, I just had to start the race at least." Fifteen miles later, Jan Cheney called from the Francis Peak radar station and discovered that his wife was about to deliver a child. "That ended the race for me," he said. "I knew that I had to get home." So Cheney got a ride down Farmington Canyon as the rest of his companions trudged ahead, dropping down east into Deep Creek Canyon, then moving to the south, through Hard Scrabble Canyon until they reached Lookout Peak. "It was getting dark just about the time we got to the ridge near the peak," said Steve Baugh, one of the five runners. "The trail was okay there. But before that, for about 20 miles just after we came off the Francis Peak ridge, it was pure hell. We had to bushwack through scrub oak every step of the way." Laurie Staton-Carter, the woman who eventually outdistanced the rest of the racers to win the race, was a sight. Her thighs and shoulders appeared to have been lashed by an errant henchman gone wild. "They gave me 50 lashes for going too slow," she laughed after the first half of the race ended at East Canyon just outside of Salt Lake. "I wonder what kind of punishment I'm in for tonight." Baugh, Staton-Carter and Greg Rollins were waiting at Affleck Park in East Canyon for their friend, John Manarino, who had fallen behind their pace in the rugged mountain undergrowth. "This isn't a race," Manarino said after he dropped out within striking distance of Lamb's Canyon 18 hours and 50 miles later. "It's a torture chamber." So Baugh, Staton-Carter and Rollins waited and then, after finishing their evening meal of stew and sugar drinks, they plodded down the canyon toward Elbow Fork at a seven-minute -a-mileclip. That was when Baugh decided that he would have to leave his companions. "My thighs are just starting to give me too much trouble," he explained. "You go ahead." Besides, Baugh said, he was concerned about Manarino, who had decided to stop running in the dark with a flashlight, build a fire, and hole up for the night rather than risk injuring himself by falling off one of the cliffs that lined the trail. "Good luck," Baugh said to Rollins and Staton-Carter as they continued on. "I'll check back with you later." The race, Baugh explained, was really no race at all. It was a cooperative effort among five people to get one of their number over that last five-mile loop in American Fork Canyon, and across the finish line. "There's 20,000 feet of up and 18,000 feet of down in this race," Baugh said. "It's the toughest foot race in the world, and anyone who thinks they're going to do it without a lot of physical and psychological support is crazy. It can't be done." One of the problems, Staton-Carter explained, was the wild animals. There's nothing quite so startling as running up on a bear in the middle of the night as you hit the threshold of human endurance with 40 miles of rugged mountain remaining. At the time, she was running with Rollins and her husband, Jim, who was carrying water and food on one particularly arduous stretch of the course. "At first we thought it was just another porcupine," Jim Carter said. "But then Greg said it was a bear." "It's just a small bear," Rollins said optimistically So the runners gingerly continued on, running for five minutes and walking for 10 on flat terrain trying to conserve their energy as they moved up the mountains. But Laurie Staton-Carter, the "Buffalo Girl" from Oregon now living in Salt Lake, was the real story of this incredible effort. "Therp was no question right from the beginning that she was the strongest of all of us," Rollins said. "She was always getting ahead of us and then waiting while we caught up. She's really an incredible endurance runner. Amazing." "What I like about the marathon and ultra-marathon ultra-marathon is that the distance tends to eliminate the difference between man and woman," Staton-Carter explained. "I don't think men have as much of an advantage because of their strength. Endurance is what counts, not strength." She said she was sure that she was going to finish the race from the start. The problem was not mental, she explained, it was physical. "For about the last 40 miles, my ears were ringing, and then, just after we came over Sunset Peak near Alta, I started to have some problems focusing my eyes. I don't know why. "And right toward the end, the last five miles well, that's when it hit," the 27-year-old college student said of the 35-hour run. "Those were the toughest five miles I've ever run in my life." "It's an incredible experience," said Rollins, .who finished one second behind Staton-Carter, having closed a 15-minute gap the last five miles. "It's really impossible to tell you what it's like." |
