By ISAAC WILSON Record contributing writer Brook Shinsky is on a mountain bike mission. In one year she has almost single-handedly created a revolution in the sport, "I really am excited about all the attention our program has received, but originally I just started out wanting to create a fun team to travel to races with." Shinsky explains. But in one short year, it has become much more than that. The word has been spreading and now the women's-only group rides known as the "Club Sugar" rides, have swelled to almost 40 women. "It really has been amazing," continues Shinsky, "I never expected this kind of growth in the first year." Mountain biking can be an intimidating intimidat-ing sport, and Shinsky is out to change that. "When most women get started in mountain biking, it is on their significant-others' significant-others' old bike. It is usually too large, they are usually unsure how to use it, and they are forced to ride too fast. Our goal is to inform women how to enjoy mountain moun-tain biking; to turn it into something safe and fun," says Shinsky. Shinsky says the rules for participating are strictly enforced, however. "Our rules are: you must have fun, and you may never apologize. Women tend to feel sorry for not being an expert at something, some-thing, and we want everyone to know it is O.K. to be learning." Shinsky explains.

VU - SCOTT SINEVR4W RECORD Park City Racquet Club hosted the "Summer Sizzler" this weekend, a USTA sanctioned tournament for 12 year olds.

Miners soccer starts rolling Coach Fish looks forward to strong season By ANDRE SHOUMATOFF Of the Record staff A four-team exhibition tournament hosted by Park City High School's girls soccer this weekend allowed Coach Frank Fish to get a good perspective on how his team will do this year. He calls this year's team "certainly the strongest since I've been a coach here for the last four years." The tournament allowed the Miners to battle against two teams they normally do not play. Hurricane and North Sanpete high schools, both from Southern Utah, and Morgan High School, a traditional foe who has been a challenge in the past. However, Park City took wins against all teams, scoring 9-1, 9-0, and 7-0 consecutively. con-secutively. The Morgan win was somewhat of a surprise; the team lost in the state championship champi-onship finals last year to Judge High School, another familiar opponent of girl's soccer. However, Morgan lost almost all of their starters, according to coach Fish. The Park City Miners won the state championship four years ago, and since then, with the exception of last year, has been a strong contender both in regular season play as well as in finals. Last year, the team made it to the finals but lost in their first round. "We blew it," said Fish, "we just did n't play up to our potential. We're in a lot better shape physically this year than last year." The team has six out of seven starting midfielders and fullbacks returning this year. The one graduate has been replaced by new Park City resident Kirslen Rauk, an Iowa native, who along with several other players on the team, has qualified for the elite Olympic Development Program (ODP). "She is a good addition to the team," said Fish. Among the returners, some notables include Kelly Isleib. a sophomore who plays midfield and started as a freshman last year. She has also qualified for the ODP and "is one of those players on the Kelly is more like Muhammad AH, she floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee." - Frank Fish Coach of PCHS Girls Soccer fringe of the national squad." according to Fish. "Kelly is more like Muhammad Ali, she floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee" said Fish. He referenced a moment in last weekend's play where "she must have beaten four or five players, then slotted the ball into the corner of the net. The goalie had no chance." Senior Captain midfielder Nicole Tomlin is another one of those players.
