Portneuf Valley from Pocatello Idaho proved to be the class of the field as they posted impressive impres-sive victories winning 28-10 over Park City, 21-7 over Escondido Gurkhas from San Diego, Calif., and a decisive victory over Wasatch Athletic, 41-19. Park City kicked off the weekend facing Wasatch Athletic from Salt Lake City, and while the Muckers may have been out-gunned, they almost pinned the youngsters with a loss. W.O. Wilson put Park City on the board with a nifty move down the side line. Using his soccer soc-cer skills, he dribbled the ball ahead twice to himself and out paced the defenders into the try zone before touching the ball down for the score. Eric Norgate added two penalty kicks for the home side, bringing Park City into the lead with time running down in the match 11-10. But plans for victory were spoiled when a Wasatch defender picked off an errant pass and sprinted home for the Flakes' kill Women's soccer team puts the hurt on Salt Lake team for third win of year The women's soccer team from Park City, called the Flakes this week, bounced back from last week's surprise loss to dominate Saturday's game at Riverside Park. The Flakes shut out the Sidewinders 6-0 in a "boring" and "uneventful" game, according to Trisha Hipskind, , who scored her fourth goal in as many games during Saturday's trouncing. Parisien in Austria with USST Former pro racer paying her own way to USST training camps by Paul Bobbins RECORD GUEST WRITER Julie Parisien, who's raced on the U.S. pro tour for the past three seasons, and been the women's champ for the last two, is in Austria after rejoining the U.S. Ski Team. Turmoil on the women's pro tour helped her decide to return to the World Cup and, likely, her third Olympic Winter Games. Parisien, who flew to Europe Saturday, is paying her own way to the training camp; she expects to spend upwards of $10,000 between now and the end of the year, she said. The camp starts today on the Pitztal Glacier and will spread next weekend to the glacier above Soelden, Austria. "I'm relaxed and I feel good," she said before leaving. "I was moving toward this for the last couple of years," said Parisien, who went to two training camps with the U.S. women's team two years ago before deciding to stay with the pros. Skiers may renounce their pro status I i try and the Muckers went down 11-15. In their second match, Park City faced Pocatello. After threatening for much of the match, the Muckers could not solve the Pocatello defense as their efforts proved futile, 10-28. Wasatch ran away from Escondido 41-7 to set up the championship match against Pocatello on Sunday. The Muckers, meanwhile, faced their old friends from California in their final match of the season. Escondido went out to an early lead but Park City had plenty of fight left in them and twice they followed Escondido scores with tallies of their own. In a wide-open match, the Park City forwards were running all over the pitch to support the ball. Mucker Mike Barrett kept a movement alive as he took a pass from Luke Smith and ran forward, the defense collapsed on him, then dished-off to Tim Lewis who ran in for the try. But it was the inexperience of the Mucker back-line that would undo any thoughts of victory as Escondido picked an errant pass and ran it in for the clincher. The Muckers fell 15-19. Park City finished the 1997 season at nine wins and 13 losses in an interesting season that produced fixtures in Moab, Missoula, and Aspen. "We had a great year and we are looking forward to our 28th season next year." said Dann Larson, Mucker treasurer. Sidewinders Also scoring goals were: Corrie Sutter, Megan Suhadolc and Andrea Shotwell. Several other Flakes scored Saturday but their identities were not known at press time. "We're starting to come together and play more like a team," added Hipskind. The Flakes are now 3-1 on the season. sea-son. The team's next game is Friday at 6 p.m. at City Park against Big Lettuce. The men play immediately after the women. Flakes is only this week's name for the team, they are still taking suggestions for a permanent name don't let this name stick. once, if their return is approved by their national federation. Parisien, with three World Cup wins and the silver medal in slalom from the 1993 World Championships, gives an immediate boost to the fortunes of the U.S. troupe. "But they're not giving it to me. I have to pay my way and hopefully I'll do well in NorAms and then Europa Cups in November and December, and be back on the World Cup tour by January,' she said in a lengthy telephone interview before heading to Europe. If that timetable is accurate, she should be in good racing form and qualify for the Olympics Feb. 7-22 SKIING in Nagano, Japan If she doesn t make the Olympic team, Parisien said, it's net the end of the world and she "probably" wouldn't go back to the professional ranks.

PC men's team loses 0-1 The Park City men's soccer team took a break from league play Saturday to play Dundee United from Salt Lake in a Cup game. After dominating the entire game. P.C. player Sean McLaughlin was ejected for what the referee considered consid-ered an improper tackle. Park City played the final 15 minutes of the game down one player and Dundee United capitalized on the unfortunate situation with a rebound goal, the only goal of the game. "It was definitely a cardable offense but a questionable red card," P.C. player Tim Vetter said. Before the red card incident, Park City controlled the tempo of the game for Canada. Bill Marolt, the no-nonsense president and CEO, said no. pointing out the Ski Team had spent hundreds of thousands in helping the high-energy racer develop and wasn't about to let Canada reap anything from the U.S. investment. After thinking about her options, and taking a long look at the pro circuit's con- linuing problems, Parisien who has just bought a home in southern Illinois with her boyfriend, Jamie Holslein. who's in law school at Southern Illinois University felt the World Cup offered the best environment. 1 The outspoken skier, a volatile mix of talent and emotion, missed few opportunities to zing the Ski Team during dur-ing the last three years but, Parisien said, "It's a new team now. It's rejuvenated from when I was there. "There are a lot of young, new girls who weren't there when I raced," she Bring a friend to dinner...on us !!!

And Alan Ashley (VP-Athletics, or director of athletics, for the 14 teams in seven sports overseen by the federation) listens: he's terrific." She also had words of praise for Herwig Demschar, who was the Austrian women's head coach during her last two years with the American team. Demschar who had welcomed her back to the U.S. training camps in late summer of '95. "1 feel Herwig respects me and what I've accomplished, and how I'll be working work-ing my butt off. I think he's concerned for the other athletes, which is understandable, under-standable, and concerned that it's not a difficult experience. I'm sure it'll be line but 1 understand his concern." Familiar tale: Parisien and younger sister Anna didn't want to stay with a babysitter when the family (mom. Dad. J.P. and Robby) went skiing at Lost Valley. So. the girls learned to ski.
