Maddy Novak taking over club Former PCHS trackster will begin coaching in spring by Dave Fields OF THE RECORD STAFF Milt Novak is passing the Park City Track Club baton once again. The responsibility for the youth track program will now go to his daughter Madeline "Maddy," a freshman at the University of New Mexico. The club was organized by Milt Novak in 1993 to provide Maddy with a way to participate in track before entering Park City High School. Since its inception, the coaching coach-ing responsibilities for the club have been passed on to parents including Ron and Marcy Allen who coached the last two years. Milt Novak will get the club started in the spring before his daughter returns from her freshman fresh-man year at the University of New Mexico around May 20. Maddy will work on preparing club athletes for the state meet in June and then the region meet later in the month in Pheonix, Ariz. In 1993, 27 athletes eight and older participated in the program. pro-gram. An estimated 40 young tracksters will take part in the program next summer. v n n: t iy.1 ! & J PHOTOS COURTESY MILT NOVAK Novak never finished lower than second in her last three region competitions as a Lady Miner. Maddy Novak "It's neat to see these kids running like I did," Maddy said. Like many PCHS track athletes, ath-letes, Maddy (PCHS '97) helped coach Park City Track Club athletes ath-letes during her years in Park City. Novak has been running since age nine and never finished worse than second in her last three years of region competition as a Lady Miner. At New Mexico, Novak is running run-ning the 400- and 800-meter dashes. Novak walked on to the track team but is hoping to add an athletic scholarship to her academic next season. The UNM track team has been training since the third week of school, five days a week, two-and-a-half to three hours a day. "I like the weather," said Novak from her parents' Silver Summit home where she is staying stay-ing during the Christmas holiday. "It's a lot of fun." Novak turns 19 Thursday. Some of the kids participating in the Park City Track Club are destined for high school and collegiate col-legiate running careers, others are just there because their friends do it, and that's OK with Novak. "It's fun to watch the different levels of athletes," said Novak. Big time results for skiers in '97 Continued from B-1 of "where you gonna'1 ski?" chat around town. " -- Now a week into operation, The Canyons is built and polished, pol-ished, gone are the three layers of paint on every chair. But one question remains for American Skiing execs Where's the snow? 2-Utah Winter Sports Park bobsled and luge track. In a show of statehood any governor would love, Utah Governor Mike Leavitt sped down the Sports Park track in a cherry red bobsled to open the crown jewel of the 2002 Winter Games. In true Utah fashion, a heavy snow storm soaked the crowds of dignitaries and reporters on hand to witness the moment Tom Welch had envisioned envi-sioned so many years before the police got involved in his Olympic campaign. With the hoopla over, locals have formed sliding clubs and spent real time on the ice. Learn to Luge clinics have been a huge success and make a handy grass roots complement to the public jumping programs just a few hundred hun-dred yards away on the K18 and K33 jumps. 3-PCHS girls soccer, swimming, swim-ming, diving and boys golf. The Park City High School girls soccer team capped an undefeated fall season with convincing wins over Ben Lomend and Ogden. Team star Jordan Krieger was named a Salt Lake Tribune MVP in her last season of prep soccer. The girls finished 16-0 and shut out 10 opponents behind the capable goalkeeping of freshmen Ryan Tolpinrud and Amanda Smith. Last year's Park City High School girls swim team coasted through the season and finished strong at the state mee.t, a(. Brigham Young University. In a1 cruel rules mix-up, Tessa Dahl was leapfrogged by diving teammate team-mate Erin Miller for the 3A diving div-ing crown. Dahl's final dive was tossed out because she performed a dive different than originally indicated yet she held on to take second. DAVE FIELDSPARK RECORD Phil Jones The boys golf team went into the state tournament without coach Paul Willard and as serious underdogs but came out on top. Not until all golfers had turned in their scorecards did the Miners know they had won the rain-soaked rain-soaked tournament at the Carbon Country Club. 4-PCMR restructuring. Powdr Corp. President John Cumming announced a major restructuring of Park City Mountain Resort last summer. The new plan did not include 33-year 33-year PCMR (and Ski Area) veteran veter-an Phil Jones whose responsibilities responsibili-ties were redistributed in an employee "empowerment" movement move-ment at Park City's oldest resort. Also moving on in the manage-mep.t manage-mep.t makeover was long-time ' marketer Robbie Beck-McHugh. Brought in to the new-look company com-pany were Cumming's brother, David, and a major player from outside the ski industry. 5-Local skiers go big. Park City resident Hilary Lindh capped a decorated World Cup career with a 1997 World Championship downhill victory in Sestriere, Italy. Lindh then retired to pursue pur-sue a bachelor's degree at the University of Utah and is filling in her study schedule with made-for-TV races. To make it more interesting, inter-esting, Lindh bought her first home (she previously owned a condominium) in the Timberline area near Summit Park. Big air, mach speed local skiing talent Brant Moles timed his move to the forefront of the extreme skiing (now freeskiing) world last winter perfectly. With the creation of a new freeskiing circuit and expanded ESPN coverage, cov-erage, World Champ Moles found himself in every ski and snowboard snow-board magazine as well as a few ski movie appearances. Trace Worthington "retired" from his career as one of the top skiers in U.S. history after a frustrating frus-trating battle with unexplained dizziness. Now "The Ace" is providing pro-viding on-snow television commentary com-mentary and interviews for Fox and TNT that will extend through the February Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Worthington finally has time to take advertising advertis-ing advantage of his 42 World Cup wins. He's recently completed complet-ed commercials with fellow retiree and Park City resident Heidi Voelker. Nos. 6-10 will appear in Saturday's sports section.

Due to the Olympic Bobsled Trials there will be no public sliding slid-ing this week. But, if ski jumping is your secret passion, Public Recreational Jumping takes place on Sunday at 1 p.m. The two-hour lesson guides skiers of Intermediate skill or better, using their own skis and boots, through a carefully monitored progression of ever larger snow bumps to the point where the jumper may be ready to jump on 10-, 18- or even 38-meter ski jumps.
