Show - 1 s I ?t - . -. . y Another Miner finds himself about to be pinned by a Juab opponent. Seven other Park City wrestlers wrest-lers suffered similar fates during the meet. Miners are easy prey for tough Juab wrestlers The members of the Juab High School wrestling team warmed up twice Friday. First came the pregame warm-up, when the team members wrestled one another. ano-ther. Then came the preseason pre-season warm-up, when they waltzed to an overwhelming 59-12 victory over the Park City Miners. In the process, Juab pinned pin-ned eight of the 11 Park City wrestlers. The matches averaged less than two minutes out of a possible six. The first two wrestlers for Park City, Greg Reed, 98, and Ocey Leavitt, 105, both were pinned in the first period. Matt Burnett, 112, wrestled into the second period before he was pinned by Juab's Kelly Lynn. By the time Rex Fletcher's shoulders were pinned to the mat, there was some doubt if the Miners would win one match. The next four wrestlers did nothing to alleviate that doubt. Mike Birch, Geoff Palmer, Glenn Connor, and Curtis Damon were all pinned in the first quarters of their matches. John Howard, 155, wrestled next. He carried with him the burden of giving the Miners their first victory. Howard rose to the occasion and pinned his opponent, op-ponent, Shane Day, in 1:32 in the first period. He was greeted with cheers from the Park City fans, who had little lit-tle else to cheer about. Bill Reed's match against Dave Garrett was the only one to go the full six gruelling minutes. In the first period, neither wrestler was able to score a point. In the second period Garrett scored on a reversal and on several near falls. Reed was unable to score a point and lost 0-5 to Garrett. So far in the meet, Park City had won one match and lost nine with Greg Bair offering of-fering the Miners a chance to end on a winning note. Bair, 185, man-handled his opponent, op-ponent, Robert Philipsin, pinning him in 2:44 in the first period. Bair is the only undefeated wrestler on Park City's team. Coach Schaub expected Juab to be a strong team, but he did expect the Miners to do better. "I don't have much to say," said Schaub, "of our five best wrestlers only two came through with wins. Our inexperience in the lighter weight wrestlers really showed." The Juab coach, Fenton Broadhead, said that Park City will improve as the season progresses. "We (Juab) have a good established program. We have two wrestlers that will probably win first in the' state this year. Park City has some good wrestlers, especially Bair and Howard. Park City is building; they will be a contender in time." Park City's contender status will be tested today at 3 p.m. when the Miners face Duchesne at the high school. Head coach Bob Marsh P.C. Ski Team tunes up for another season by John Kinch This is a busy time of the year for Bob Marsh, the head coach and program director for the Park City Ski Team. This month the members of the team will begin traveling around the west competing in races and participating in camps. Marsh's job is a combination combina-tion of coach, coordinator, organizer, travel director, and friend to the some 40 members of the team. Marsh, along with nine other staff members, provides training and guidance for the skiers. His job is as demanding demand-ing as the sport itself. The sport, for the skiers, begins in September, with the snow still a month or more away. They run, sprint, do exercises specifically specifi-cally designed for skiing, and play an occasional basketball game. All this is to build up the legs and stamina which is necessary for the six-month season. But Marsh feels that the season is all year, if a skier really wants to be competitive. "The competition at the region level is so intense that it requires a lot ot dedication of the athlete, if he or she wants to win. The competition competi-tion at the Junior Olympic level or making the U.S. Ski Team requires a full-year commitment." he said. The commitment for some of the skiers begins at a young age. The team members mem-bers range in age from 8 to 21, with many of the younger kids skiing in the Farm League, which never leaves Park City. Marsh said that Park City's strongest age group is the 12-15 year olds. "There is a lot of camerad-erie camerad-erie and partnership among the kids," said Marsh, "they are all very supportive of each other." Along with the comerad-erie, comerad-erie, the skiers also learn to grow in other areas, according accord-ing to Marsh. To be a winner on the ski team, a skier has to achieve his or her personal per-sonal goals; that is all anyone asks or expects. Some of the premiere skiers will be leaving for various races and camps this month. Tori Pillinger will travel to Aspen to attend the U.S. Ski Team Camp for most ot December. Scott Williams, Nicki Koch, and Jason Lawson will go to Big Mountain, Montana to participate parti-cipate in the Nor-Am Qualifier Quali-fier Downhill Camp. Sean Hazelrigg and possibly Andrea An-drea Peterson are going to go the Grand Targhee, Idaho to an Inter mountain Divisional Divi-sional qualifier camp. The Park City Ski Team competes in the regional level throughout Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. The skiers are given individual scores and, based on those individual standings, Park City won the Intermountain division last year. By earning earn-ing points in these various competitions, the skiers have been invited to attend different races and camps this year. The members pay tuition at the beginning of the season which covers the cost of a season pass, coaching, and race entry fees. Traveling Travel-ing costs are paid by the skiers themselves. According Accord-ing to Marsh, it is an expensive and long hard road for the skiers, but the skiers feel it is well worth it.
