It was recently announced that three of the school's coaches would not be returning next year. Two of the coaches, Lamont Muchmore (girls basketball) and Dianne Evans (boys and girls tennis), chose to leave their positions. However, the head boys and girls soccer coach of two years, Julian Martinez was informed by the school's administration-he administration-he would not be the girls coach next year. Consequently, Martinez said he wouldn't coach the boys either. Seeing next year's seniors through their last season would have been ideal, according to Martinez, who has been involved with the soccer program for four years. Martinez said he originally didn't want the job but after coaching both the boys and girls to two state runner-up finishes in the last two years, would have liked one more year. "I was really bummed out," Martinez said. "One more season would have been good for me." Park City High School principal Hal Smith said he wants Martinez to stick around. "He seems to think there's a linkage between the two teams, I'd love to have him back as the boys coach," Smith said. Smith and Gail Meakins, the school's athletic director, said there is pressure to get coaches that are also teachers. They said it is helpful to have coaches that see their players during the day, not just at practice. "We're trying to get as much as possible pos-sible coaches that are teachers at the high school," Meakins said. Martinez works at Lucas Aerospace Geared Systems. The change in coaches was not an issue of performance, according to Smith who said Martinez is a "perfect gentleman." "I have personally never had a negative nega-tive call about Julian," Smith said. Parent and student input also had nothing noth-ing to do with the decision. Smith added. The Utah High School Activities Association recommends the hiring of teaching coaches, according to Smith. The high school's volleyball coach, Becky Stover, is the only other non-teaching non-teaching head coach. The interim girls soccer coach will be Cheryl Cook, a physical education teacher at Jeremy Ranch Elementary. Cook has been the girl's assistant coach for two years.

Nobis off team after missing dry-land camp by Dave Fields OF THE RECORD STAFF Shannon Nobis didn't make a trip to California recently and it's going to cost her. Nobis, a five-year veteran of the U.S. Ski Team, was kicked off the women's alpine team after missing a mandatory dry-land training camp in San Francisco in May. Now the 24-year-old super-G specialist special-ist has to decide if she wants to race badly enough to pay for it herself. Nobis, who lives in Park City, was not named to the U.S. Ski Team in 1993 but paid her own way to the pre-season training camps, brought home four medals in the University Games and was back on the team by 1994. Although Nobis reportedly spoke with women's coach Herwig Demschar and presidentCEO Bill Marolt prior to the camp, the USST's vice president of communications com-munications and services ser-vices Tom Kelly said she was still expected to attend. "It is our philosophy philoso-phy that if we're going to make these programs available the athletes need to make a commitment to the programs," Kelly said. Nobis was responsible respon-sible for getting herself her-self to the camp. Accommodations and all other expenses were covered by the ' nix 4- PHOTO COURTESY BRIAN W. ROBB Shannon Nobis team, according to Kelly. She had been named to the women's B team. USST funding for B team racers varies from athlete to athlete. ath-lete. Kelly added that Nobis could return to the team. "She, like anyone any-one else, has the opportunity to move up the ladder," lad-der," Kelly said. The policy concerning camp attendance is an "across-the-board," policy according to Kelly, but women's coach Herwig Demschar makes the final decision about his athletes. Demschar is coaching at a ski camp in Mt. Bachelor. Ore. and was unavailable for comment. A woman speaking on behalf of Nobis said the racer was unavailable for comment and "would not comment until she decides what action to take." Fellow speed specialist Picabo Street also spent a year off the team and returned to win a World Championship two years later. Nobis skied for the Park City Ski Team and then later Vermont's Green Mountain Valley School. She finished 10th in the super G at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Kvitfjell, Norway. Her best World Cup finish was a third in a 1995 super G in Garmish, Germany.
