Show Park Record Thursday, April 6, 1989 Page B5 Local skiers take top spots at telemark championships Vv, J.flf "1 7 . Tj'Wj ; him. . ,w I il 9 -0 Dee Wallace, shown here in the Park City Town Race series finals, finished second in last weekend's U.S. National Telemark Championships. Chalk one up for the home team. Park City area residents Chris Larson and Dee Wallace were the two top finishers in the men's division divi-sion of the U.S. National Telemark Championships held last weekend in Heavenly Valley, CA. First place went to Larson, a member of the U.S. Telemark Team who moved to Park City from Salt Lake City in November. He is now on his way to St. Anton, Austria for the International Telemark Champion-' ships. Wallace is best known in local sports circles for his trophy collection collec-tion in the Park City Town Race series. He recently won the award as the season's best male skier in the Town Race Cross-Country class. Third place in the men's division went to four-time national champion Whitney Thurlow of Squaw Valley, . CA. The event went on in spite of rain, snow and vicious winds which ripped down fencing and forced race organizer Robert Giusti to move the event to higher ground. "It ended up being a rather adverse weekend," Giusti said. The top three finishers in the women's division were Andrea Ryan of Steamboat Springs, CO, Emily Hart of Truckee, CA and Kate Hasterlik of Seattle, WA. Racers were required this year to comply with a new rule outlawing the use of hybrid alpinenordic boots. "It did what it was intended to: to provide a more even basis to show one's skills upon," Giusti said. "We didn't lose any key competitors (because of the new rule)." Despite spring break, high school track team is off on right foot In spite of a week-long interruption interrup-tion in the training schedule (thanks to spring break), the Park City High School track team still took first place in its season-opening meet Wednesday, March 29 in Tooele. Park City track coach Bill Kahn noted that most other Utah schools don't have to contend with the week-long week-long spring sabbatical that is a Park City tradition. The final team scores found Park City in first place, in both boys' and girls' events: v . v Boys: Park City 1C5, Grants ville 134, North Summit 122, Morgan 68, Dugway 20, Wendover 9. Girls: Park City 131, North Summit 128, Morgan 113, Wendover 63, Grantsville 34, Dugway 0 (no team entered). If the results of the first meet are any indication, Park City's strength this season is in the track (as opposed oppos-ed to the field) events. In the boys' 110-meter high high hurdles, for example, the Park City Miners took three of the top four places, with Norman Burns setting the pace with a time of 15.95 seconds and Corey Francis finishing second in 16.12. Burns also won the 300-meter intermediate in-termediate hurdles with a time of 43.15 seconds and anchored the 400-meter relay team that finished second behind Grantsville. "We were ahead the whole way, but it took three seconds to exchange the baton (at the start of the final leg)," Kahn reported. In other results from the boys' team: Park City freshman Mike James gave his opponents a glimpse of the future by winning the 1600-meter run in a time of 5:04, 10 seconds faster than his closest competition. "He was out there by himself a good length of time," Kahn said. First place in the 3200-meter run went to Robert Simmons of Park City. Ci-ty. Simmons also finished fourth behind James in the 1600-meter run. Scott Glissmeyer finished first in the long jump and was a member of the winning 1600-meter relay team. Other members of that team: Russ Bradford, Steve Osguthorpe and Larry Winterer. "That relay team took a second in the state last year, and they never ran a time this fast this early," Kahn said. The team's winning time was 3:42.85, almost 15 seconds faster than second-place North Summit. In the medley relay, Steve Osguthorpe, a senior, was joined by his younger brother Roger, a freshman. They teamed up with Larry Winterer and Brad Chamberlain to win that event by about 1.5 seconds over Grantsville. Absent from the meet was Park City's strong pole vault squad, which has been unable to practice so far this season. In results from the girls' team: Holly Hunter finished first in both the 1600-meter run and the 800-meter run, and second In the 3200-meter run. Cheryl Hannay won the 400-meter dash, and anchored Park City's winning win-ning teams in the medley relay and the 1600-meter relay. Hannay also anchored the 400-meter relay team which finished second behind Morgan. Melanie Forsyth, new to the Park City program this year, finished second se-cond in the discus and fifth in the shot. Freshman Angie Buckner was third in the long jump and fourth the 100-meter dash. Buckner also ran on the 400-meter and 1600-meter relay teams, Kahn said between 75 and 80 students turned out for the track team, in spite of competition from tennis, golf and soccer. "It's always tough, when you have a small school, to have four teams going at the same time," he said. Training started March 1, and the team's outdoor track was cleared by about March 15. Park City was scheduled to travel to Lehi for a meet Wednesday, April 5, after this paper went to press. Results of that event will be reported in next week's issue.
