April 20 to May 21 6 weeks Their title is unofficial, but not too many people are going to say they didn't deserve it. Park City High School gymnasts won 26 of a possible 30 top-three places March 25 on their way to the unofficial Region 11 gymnastics gym-nastics championship. The title is not recognized by the Utah High School Activities Association because less than half the schools have gymnastics teams. Competing at home against gymnasts from Duchesne, North Rich, South Rich and Tintic, the Miners dominated every event in both the compulsory and optional op-tional routines. Leading the way was team captain Lisa Thaller, who finished first in three out of four compulsory events, missing only in the vault, and was awarded the all-around all-around title. Matching Thaller's performance per-formance in the optional routines was that of Teri Potts, who finished first in two events and second in two others. Like Thaller, she also won the all-around title. Connie Hamilton and Suzy Clark helped give Park City a sweep in the all-around optional op-tional standings, finishing second and third, respectively. respec-tively. And Park City's Anita Miles finished second to Thaller in the all-around compulsory standings on the basis of a second place on the beam, a second on the bars, and a third in the vault. Other Park City gymnasts who finished in the top three in their events were Amy Irvine, Ir-vine, Julie Halfhill, Susan Nielsen, Susan Mahoney and Kim Robinson. On the basis of their performances per-formances in their three meets held so far this season, the Region 11 gymnasts gym-nasts were recognized with individual medals and a team trophy. The medal winners are listed in the Scoreboard section. Park City Coach Gail Mc-Bride Mc-Bride now is focusing her attention at-tention on the Northern Sectional Sec-tional meet, to be held April 3 at Emery High School. This meet, involving both 1A and 2A schools, will be used to determine which gymnasts will go on to the state 1A-2A tournament. "For both the sectional and state, they are going to be up against some really good 2A schools," McBride warned. "I wish they could have seen some of their competition during the season . . , It's going to be an eye-opener for them." Other than Union, no 2A school has been involved in the same meet with Park City this year. McBride expects ex-pects that some of the toughest competition at the sectional meet will come from Lehi.

Capson, Morris, McComb, 649-8601. mm mm If t about the number two doubles team, but he might as well have been talking about the team as a whole. With Scott Pirraglio and Colyn Admason leading the way. Park City High School whipped the Wasatch Wasps 4-1 in a tennis meet held March 25 at the Park City Racquet Club. Pirraglio and Adamson, who play number two doubles, turned in two flawless flaw-less sets to dump Scott Ritchie and John Patterson of Wasatch 64, 6-0. Their win, combined with those of the three Park City singles players, took the sting out of the visiting Wasps. Darrick Olsen, returning to the lineup after a week's absence, reclaimed his position posi-tion as Park City's number one singles player, then stopped exchange student Mats Arviddson of Wasatch 6-7, 6-2, 6-1. Olsen defeated teammate Shawn Glieden in a practice match earlier in the week to retake the position he held last year. However, Chaplin indicated that the number one position was still up for grabs. In number two singles, Glieden wasted little time in knocking off Judson Smedley ofWasatch,6-l,6-3. But Park City's number three singles player, Ted Bird, had a little more trouble beating Brett Heim-berger, Heim-berger, losing the first set before coming back to win 2-6,7-5, 7-5. "The thing I was particularly particu-larly pleased about was that Darrick and Ted each came back from a loss in the first set to win the match," Chaplin noted. "Darrick tried to slug it out with him (Arviddson) in-the in-the first set, but lost the tiebreaker. But (after that) he played very wisely, and let the other guy make the mistakes." Park City's only loss came in number one doubles, where Mike Jarosz and Paul Dyer lost to Blaik Baird and Pat Sullivan, 3-6,6-2,6-4. Chaplin has been trying different combinations in number one doubles, in an attempt to replace Gil Holmes who is no longer with the team. He seemed pleased with the performance of Dyer and Jarosz. "I feel pretty good about the way they played," he said. "They played a very sound first set and a good third set against some very sound players. As they become be-come more accustomed to each other and a little more aggressive, their play will improve." In exhibition matches, the doubles team of Tim Tebbs and Bruce Vetter defeated their Wasatch opponents, and Randy Kennard also posted a victory in an exhibition singles match. To date, the members of the Park!,City team have' been practicing and' pteymg' within the' friendly confines of the Park City Racquet Club. "The real test will be when we play outside under unfavorable conditions on somebody else's turf," Chaplin Chap-lin said. That test will come Friday, Fri-day, weather permitting, when the Miners travel to Morgan to tangle with the 2A Trojans. Then, the following Thursday, the Miners will visit Wasatch in Heber. According to Chaplin, the challenge will come in adjusting to the fast, outdoor concrete courts. "That will be an excellent test," he said. "The kids with the really good serves will have the advantage over there." Snider heads for finale holding first Greg Snider For the fourth time this season Greg Snider stood with his hand out to receive the $2,000 winner's check. The winningest pro in the history of the Coors American Ameri-can Pro Tour added the Subaru Cup giant slalom to his list of seven victories at Crystal Mountain, Wash. March 22. This time Snider, the 26-year-old defending champion cham-pion from Gilchrist, Oregon, ousted Brad Dutton in the final round of the $15,000 event which set the field for the season-ending finale at Aspen, Colo. Snider took the first of two runs by a .192 margin, then coasted to victory when Dutton fell coming off the first bump on me second run. Dutton, a winner a month ago at neighboring Mission Ridge, Wash., collected $1,500. In third place was Snider's nemesis in the standings race, Jim Hudson, who defeated de-feated Jean-Peter Ostbye. It was the first time that Ostbye, Ost-bye, who was out with a knee injury mid-season, has made it to the final four this winter while Hudson was trying to stay close to Snider as the tour prepares for its final event. Hudson went home with $1,100 and Ostbye $800. Though he has been bothered by a right knee he hyperextended at Winter Park, Snider showed little sign that it was troubling him as he disposed of Phil Graves, Teddy Marolt, Dan Brelsford and finally Ostbye before facing Dutton. Dutton, who eliminated Scott Hardy, Scott Light, Laurent Gufford and Hudson before meeting Snider, cited a lapse in concentration when asked about his fall against Snider. "I just broke a little bit of concentration and when you do that, you make a mistake and then you fall. I was obviously the underdog. Here he (Snider) was, the number one guy and everything I thought it was great. I knew I could beat him, but I made that one mistake and fell." The Crystal Mountain race also determined who would vie for a piece of the $40,000 being offered in the Coors-Copenhagen-Skoal Grand Prix finals. Only the top 32 in the standings were allowed to compete in the $20,000 giant slalom on Saturday, March 28 and the $20,000 slalom on Sunday, March 29. Before leaving for Aspen, much of the attention focused fo-cused on Snider and Hudson, who were seperated by 25 points, 235 to 210. Wayne Wright was third at 175. Snider would like to repeat as champion a first for the tour as much as Hudson would like to dethrone him. "This is the victory I needed before going to Aspen," said Snider. "The pressure's off me now and on Jim Hudson and Wayne Wright." |
