' - '" The Boys b in fastpitch tourney The Salt Lake Boys proved that they can play with the men in winning win-ning the Prospector Hotel B-Class fastpitch softball tournament held at City Park last weekend. The S.L. Boys, a team comprised of 16-18 year-olds and one 20-year-old pitcher, went through their four-game four-game schedule undefeated to claim the trophy. The Ashton team, from Pleasant Grove, took second place, Prospector Prospec-tor Hotel was third and Peterson Wanless, Salt Lake City was fourth. The tournament provided plenty of action for the teams as they played four games each starting at 8 a.m. and ending at 9:30 p.m. on July 26. The Boys, smelling a victory, erupted for seven runs in the seventh inning to break what had been a tight contest against Ashton in the championship game open to give them a 14-10 win. Ashton put two runs on the board in the top of the first inning. Rick Westphal, safe on a fielder's choice was moved to third by Steve Hen-son's Hen-son's double. The pair scored on Shaun Dandiff's single, but Dandiff was thrown out at second base to end the inning. The S.L. Boys came right back to tie the score aided by wild pitches. Shaun Shelton singled and then Bob Bracken followed with a double. They both subsequently scored on wild pitches. Ashton broke the 2-2 deadlock in The wait is by JIM SMEDLEY Record staff writer Do you know what it is like to wait for something almost a decade and then finally getting it? Well, Park City High School Principal Prin-cipal Jack Dozier is about to find out. And if you ask him he will probably pro-bably tell you. On Monday, Dick Eakes and Brian Nelson of McBroom Construction, walked into the Park Record Office late at night and announced the final layer of rubber was on the new running run-ning track that surrounds the football field. On Tuesday (July 29) they were planning to put the final coat of latex on and then start the painting procedure pro-cedure by Wednesday. The duo said that the paint should be dry jr- w 1 V eat the men the third inning when Henson's home run scored Westphal in front of him and Dandiff doubled, scoring on Kerry Walker's double. The Boys made it 5-4 in their half of the third. Shelton started the rally with a walk. He stole two bases and then scored on Mike Lorange's single. Lorange eventually scored on a double dou-ble by Tyler Hoskins and single by Shad Alvey. The teams exchanged runs in the fourth inning and the Boys took the lead in the fifth inning by outscoring Ashton 2-1. Ashton came back in the sixth to knot the score at 7-7 when Jesse Walker doubled and scored on Westphal's single. Then in the bottom of the sixth inning inn-ing the bottom fell out of the Ashton defense and the S.L. Boys marched 11 batters to the plate in scoring seven runs, four of which were unearned. Ashton scored three unearned runs of their own in the seventh when Al Oscarson was safe on an error, er-ror, Joe Jensen singled and Walker cleared the bases with a home run. But that was it. S.L. Boys center-fielder center-fielder Tommy Gray made a shoestring catch of Westphal's line drive to end the game. Ashton's Westphal and Henson were a bane to the S.L. Boys all game in a losing cause. Henson had three hits in four at bats driving in four runs and scoring three. Westphal had three hits in five at ove C1IMIVS31 sometime on Saturday. The track should be ready for use by Aug. 3. "I've been in the business for 15 years and it will be as beautiful of a facility that we ever worked on," Eakes said. "When you get the grass in there and with those trees, well, that's just a beautiful area. It's a premier running surface, as fine a surface as in the state of Utah." Eakes said it will also be a fast track. And he should know since his firm works on 50 to 60 tracks per year and about 200 tennis courts. The track is set on a four-inch layer of asphalt. Over the asphalt a layer of Sprint 200, a latex made by the Sprint-Trax company, is laid.

Lorange was also two for two scoring scor-ing and batting in three runs. Prospector Hotel's only win was a 6-5 squeaker against Peterson Wanless, which gave the Hotelers third place in the tournament. The Park City team went into the final innings tied 4-4. Peterson Wanless broke the tie when Brian Sneel led off the inning with a double, dou-ble, was advanced to third by Kurt Hooton's single and scored on Craig Christiansen's sacrifice fly. In the bottom of the last inning Mark Madsen led off with a walk for the Hotelers. Jim Peterson's sacrifice bunt moved him to second base. Doug Kershaw became the hero when he slammed a line drive to right-centerf ield that the rightfielder could not track down for a home run. Marco Peretti also had a home run for Prospector Square when he legg ed out an inside-the-park shot in the second inning. Hitting well for the home team were Tony Cash and Mike Osher, who both had two hits in two at bats. Peterson Wanles was led by Terry Garn and Steve Wanless Gam singled and doubled in three times at bat and Wanless stroked two triples in three appearances. II CUf 1 r The track surrounding the high school football field gets the finishing touches from Dick Kakes. The route of the Park City Arts Festival 10K race will take runners through Park Meadows. Run added to Festival weekend By PAT MANNING Record contributing writer The Park City Arts Festival 10k Race is a new addition to this year's local road race circuit. Blessed with the festival's good name and support from local sponsors, the race will hit the road with its proper fanfare. And where does a 6.2 mile course exist on unquestionably the busiest tourist weekend of the summer? Well, it is set very comfortably in Park Meadows in the early hours. Starting promptly at 8:06 a.m. this Saturday Aug. 2, the runners will depart from behind the Park City High School on a course that winds through the varied terrain of Park Meadows. After a slight downhill the grade stiffens as the runners approach the Noaker, Zeigle win bike races by JIM SMEDLEY Record staff writer Tom Noaker cruised to a victory in the veterans class and Steve Zeigle picked up his first win of the year in the men's 1 & 2 class last weekend at the Jeremy Showdown, a stage race. The race, held July 26-27, was originally called the Tour of the Wasatch, and held in Park City. Jeremy Ranch officials made three-year three-year commitment to sponsor race ,;as part of the Jeremy Showdown festivities. There are three events in a stage race, a time trial, criterium and road race. In the men's 1 & 2 and men's 3 classes the time trial was 2 12 miles, the criterium was 32 miles and the road race was 12 laps around a 4.6-mile track. The men's 4, veteran and women's classes did the same length time trial as the other classes and the criterium was reduced reduc-ed to 20 miles and the road race was set for eight laps. Zeigle, a Midvale resident who rides for the Fisher Cyclery team, was behind Salt Lake City's John Moen by 20 seconds going into the final event. "In the final three laps John and I were real close and he had a 20-second lead on me. I couldn't play around if I wanted to win," Zeigle said. "There were so many races that I lost last year by ignorant moves and I did not want to lose this one that way." Zeigle suffered four crashes last year and one this year when he was training for a race in Chicago. He said he was cautious and slower in the turns than Moen was, but he made up time on the straights and the hill. Zeigle's 4:12.41 (combined time for all three events) was good enough to edge Moen by 1 : 40. Noaker's races were not that close as he beat the nearest competitor, teammate George Veasey by six minutes, with a time of 2 : 50. 12. Madonna Harris also rode in the time trial and criterium, but she rode with the veteran class racers, more for a workout than serious competition. Harris and Noaker set the pace in the time trial, which Noaker won by more than a minute over other com- scheduled 1 Park Record hill on Meadows Drive. Cresting the hill, a left will be taken on Fairway Village Drive, followed by a left on Sunny Slopes Drive and a right back onto Meadows Drive. The next stretch, for many a local runner, is what running in Park Meadows is about a run along the golf course. The slope is gentle as you make a water stop at the 2-mile mark enjoying the easy rhythm and view of this scenic course. Tight turns on Lakeview Drive and Little Kate Road will send you past the Racquet Club followed by another right on Lucky John Drive. Now on the far side of the golf course a quick burst will get the runners run-ners over the American Saddler knoll followed by two rights on Holiday Holi-day Ranch Loop Road. The next y - i - Tom Noaker won the Tour of petitors, and the criterium, in which Noaker, Harris and Veasey lapped the field. Noaker and Veasey race for the Silver Bullet team which is co-sponsored by Coors and is part of the Pedali Cycling Club. Noaker, Veasey and teammates Steve Johnson, Salt Lake City, and Boone Lennon, Sun Valley, Idaho just returned from a strong showing in the Nationals held at Indianapolis, to open in patibie with asphalt and the subsequent subse-quent layers going on top," Eakes said. Over that they put a layer of buffing, buff-ing, black reprocessed car tires that have been shredded. Next is a layer of of latex, followed by a layer of a special mix of raw rubber, a layer of latex, another layer of the special mix and a layer of latex . "Finally we put on a layer of brand new, fresh red rubber and then the final coat of latex," Nelson said. "The latex takes 24 hours to dry and then begin stripping." And the striping will not be just white. Nelson said green, blue and yellow will also be used to mark various start and finish points and other markings.

The turn around point at 4.5 miles gives you your last good look at friends and competition as the serious dig in for the last part of the race. A right on Little Kate Road followed follow-ed by another quick right on Lucky John Drive will set the runners up for the last rise before the high school finish.

The entry fee includes a T-shirt, T-shirt, a chance at a prize in the drawing after the race and admission admis-sion to the big event, the Park City Arts Festival. hS , , w t ! - i fi the Wasatch stage race. Ind., July 23. Johnson took first, Lennon Len-non second and Noaker 10th in the men's 35-39 class. "The Jeremy course was perfect and one of the safest I have ever been on. There wasn't a crash all weekend," Noaker said. "The time trial had a good short climb and the road course, with its strong climb and smooth descent, is one of the best I've ridden." August crew were three high school students. Eakes added that the longevity of the track was unknown as the oldest tracks in North America using a latex process are only 4-years-old, adding that they seemed to be holding up very well. He said some tracks in Europe were more than 20-years-old, but those tracks used polyurethane where Americans use latex. "A polyurethane track will cost about $50 a square yard, while a latex track costs about $9.50 a square yard," Eakes said. He added that latex tracks were miles ahead of the old rubber and asphalt mix tracks that grew popular in America less than a decade ago. |
