A team from Park City High School, thrown together at the last minute, skied to victory in the 34th annual Knudsen Cup High School Team Championship held Saturday at Brighton. Leading Park City to the win were Rolfe Sandberg and Tori Pillinger, who recorded the two fastest times on Brighton's Mt. Millicent. Other Park City representatives included Nicki Koch, Andrea Peterson, Peter-son, Craig Griffin, Mark Miller, Jim Ludlow and Jason Lawson. With the exception of Miller, they're all freshmen. Park City's combined time (the fastest three men and two women) came to 402.31 seconds, well ahead of second-place Judge (414.79) and third-place Brighton (424.40). If some of the Park City names sound familiar, that's because many of them are also members of the Park City Ski Team. And the problems of divided allegiance al-legiance almost left the school without a team. According to Park City Ski Team Coach Bob Marsh, several of his skiers had the choice of entering the Knudsen Knud-sen Cup or the divisional Snow Cup Giant Slalom at nearby Solitude. On Friday he discovered that everyone had chosen the Snow Cup, leaving the school without a team. Since Brighton and Solitude Soli-tude are only a mile apart, Marsh figured that, if the races were staggered, some of the Park City skiers could enter both events. He persuaded per-suaded the organizers of the Snow Cup to change their schedule, then gave Tori Pillinger the job of putting together a high school team. "The Knudsen-Snow Cup shuffle is what it's called," he laughed. The shuffle paid off. Pillinger Pil-linger posted her winning time at Brighton, then dashed off to Solitude for the Snow Cup to compete against the likes of Cindy Oak of the U.S. Ski Team and several college-level skiers. "She had fourth place after the first run without even seeing the course," After seeing the course, Pillinger was the second fastest in the second run and High school tennis Olsen returns the by David Hampshire Darrick Olsen had something some-thing to prove. Last May, the lanky Park City junior entered the state 1A tournament as the top seed in number one singles. And he lived up to his billing until he reached the final round. But there he was deposed by the seventh seed, an unflappable youngster from St. Joseph, 6-7, 6-4, 6-1. The young man's name was Greg McDonald. Olsen had to wait almost 10 months for a rematch. And when it came, last Friday at the Park City Racquet Club, he almost blew it. According to Park City Coach David Chaplin, Olsen was nervous before the match and took a long time to settle down. "Darrick was not playing his normal game until the end of the third set," he said. Olsen dropped the first set 4-6 and was trailing 2-4 in the second before the match started to turn around. He won five of the next six games to win the second set, but then dropped the next Hockey Silver Kings to face Snowbird Tuesday It is now official, hockey fans. The Park City Silver Kings will play Snowbird in a best-of-three series starting star-ting on April 6 at the Cottonwood Ice Rink. The second game will be played on Wednesday, April 14, also at Cottonwood. If a third game is necessary it will be played at the Salt Palace on April 19, with a game time to be announced. The games at Cottonwood will start at 9 p.m. To get to Cottonwood Ice Rink you should take 1-80 to 1-215 South, then stay on 1-215 until you get to 7200 South or Big Cottonwood Canyon. Turn right and drive west for one mile to 2700 East. Turn left and drive six blocks. The rink is behind Cottonwood High School on the right side of the street. The Silver Kings will be wearing new uniforms for the Snowbird series, supplied by the Park City Ski Area. Park City's share of the ice rental is also being paid by the Ski Area. f.fA " -I - '''''''' u .. ' ' ..1.4....

On Sunday, Pillinger managed man-aged to beat Oftman but still finished third: besides Oak, she had to contend with the likes of Kathy Kreiner, former member of the Canadian Can-adian national team who now skis for the University of Utah. In the men's division of the Snow Cup, Park City's top performer was Robert Ayers, who finished fifth Saturday then moved up to fourth Sunday. Matias Alvarez Al-varez finished ninth Saturday Satur-day and fifth Sunday. For other Park City finishers, please turn to the Scoreboard Score-board section. Meanwhile, in the JIII Junior Olympics in Jackson Hole, Greg Tesoro, Jere Calmes and Scott Black were competing against other top 12- and 13-year-old skiers from the Western United States. "I was proud of the way they skied," said Park City three to put the victory in jeopardy again. "Then McDonald really started making a lot of errors, which is not typical of him, "Chaplin said. That was the opportunity Olsen needed. He took the next six games to win the match 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, to help obliterate the memory of last May's tournament defeat. The Olsen-McDonald match provided one of the few moments of drama Friday in a four-team tournament involving in-volving Park City, St. Joseph, Rowland Hall-St. Mark's and South Summit. The strong local team dropped only two sets all day in defeating St. Joseph 5-0 and Rowland Hall-St. Mark's by a similar score. The Miners did not play South Summit. Olsen had an easier time against John Lee of Rowland Hall, winning 6-0, 6-0. In number two singles, Trahan Whitten knocked off Mike Sharpes of St. Joseph, 6-4, 6-1, then bombed Paul Renkers of Rowland Hall, 6-0, 6-0, 6-0. In number three singles, Coach Jim Clifford. "They did a good job considering the competition they were up against." The best Park City showing show-ing was in the downhill, where Tesoro finished 24th, Park City Eric Hays This weekend, the Park City Ski Area will host the first annual Eric Hays Memorial Me-morial Race. The three-day race, to be held on the Ladies GS run, will involve two giant slaloms and one slalom. Expected to compete are "A", JI and some of the top JII skiers from the Intermountain Division as well as some competitors from other western west-ern divisions. The race is being held in memory of Eric Hays, a former Park City resident and member of the Park City favor freshman Chris Elkins lost only one game in four sets, whipping Mike Kenney of St. Joseph 6-0, 6-1, then crushing Mike Begue of Rowland Hall, 6-0, 6-0. With the exception of last week's loss to Judge, Elkins has had little competition from his number three singles opponents. "On most teams there's a lot of difference between the number one and the number three singles players," Chaplin observed. "In ours, there's not much difference at all." In number one doubles, Collyn Adamson and Craig Griffin had to go to three sets before defeating Kevin Willard and Allan Lipman of St. Joseph, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. "They played very strongly, very intelligently, and let the other kids make the mistakes," Chaplin said. "Then, in the second set, the other kids stopped making mistakes." Adamson and Griffin made some changes in strategy between the second and third sets to turn the tide in their favor. Against Richard White and Charles Bauer of Rowland Hall, Adamson and Griffin shook off some second-set concentration problems to win 6-1, 6-4. In number two doubles, Scott Pirraglio and Bob DiTullio whipped Pat Kenney Ken-ney and Harry Wong of St. Joseph, 6-0, 6-2. Black Pearl unveils Black Pearl owner Jody Bernolfo revealed Monday that Christin Cooper and Steve Mahre of the U.S. Ski Team had been recruited to represent his restaurant in the last two Town Races of the season. Bernolfo acknowledged that neither Cooper nor Mahre was an employee of the Black Pearl, but pointed out that the Town Race rules had been changed to allow broader participation. Calmes 33rd and Black 44th. "For these guys, that was a very good finish," Clifford continued. "They all skied their best on race day."

By and large, they played a really strong match." Against Rowland, Hall, Park City's number two doubles team won by default. In an exhibition match, Chris Bellamy played, in Chaplin's words, "the best I've seen him all year" to defeat his St. Joseph op "Besides, the U.S. Ski Team office is here in Park City and Mahre was in town last month for the Celebrity Classic, so you can easily think of them as local residents," resi-dents," Bernolfo said.

"Some of these other sponsors are using ringers from clear across the country. This guy Bill Skinner: isn't he from New Jersey? And what about Karl Jacobson? There's a Norwegian name if I ever heard one!" Bernolfo admitted that Mahre and Cooper may be skiing under assumed names. |
