It couldn’t have been a much better two days for the five teams competing at the Track & Field Region 10 Championships, which was hosted by Park City on the track at Dozier Field on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. The sun was shining, the skies were blue and the wind was minimal. It was an optimal meet for those in the region looking to qualify for the UHSAA State Championships at Brigham Young University next weekend. The Miners, though they didn’t win on either the boys’ or girls’ side as a team, did just that by qualifying a handful of athletes. “[The meet] went extremely well,” Park City co-head coach David Yocum said. “The coaches were happy. We’re very fortunate to have a region where these coaches all get along and help each other. It really went well. We had a couple of surprise people really step up and do well in some of the events. Some freshmen came through and did some big things for us. “A lot of really good things happened, so I’m pretty excited.” Winning the region title on both sides was Stansbury: the boys’ team cruised to a victory with 173 points, while the girls’ team secured the title with 114. The Park City girls’ team, however, gave the Stal- Continued from B-1 Morin comes home rin play],” the teenager Beck Milner said. “It reminds me of myself, because he’s influenced me so much. I catch like him, because I worked with him so much.” Beck is a 13-year-old involved with the Skullcandy Crushers, one of Park City’s youth baseball organizations. He, along with his friends, made the trip down the canyon to watch Morin in action. Beck is one of the young men Morin worked with during the Storm Chasers’ offseasons. This last offseason was the first Morin didn’t return to Park City to help out with the Crushers. The catcher almost didn’t recognize Beck and his friends when he saw them on Sunday. “I was joking around with a lot of them because they’re so big now,” Morin said. “I’ve known these kids for several years and you see them out on the stands, and those kids are big. They’re not little kids anymore. I’m glad they came out. That was good to see.” Beck and his friends were hardly the only ones that made lions a scare, finishing just five points behind. The Park City boys’ team also finished in second with 56 points. On the girls’ side, the Miners were led by the throws and sprints, which was something Yocum didn’t expect. Heading into the meet, he predicted that they’d earn more points in the distance events, but he’ll take what he can get. “We scored points where we didn’t think we were going to score,” Yocum said. “That’s the beauty of the sport. People step up and contribute when you don’t expect them to.” Two people who stepped up specifically for the Park City girls’ team are Bailey Hoglin and Claire Rogers, two seniors who hadn’t participated in the sport before this season. Hoglin, who originally wanted to run when she came out for the sport, has been a blessing for throws coach Matt Senske. “It took a little persuasion, but a couple weeks later, Matt Senske came out to me and said thank you for sending me Bailey,” Yocum said. “She’s such a great competitor. She’s just stellar. She’s done everything that we’ve asked of her. For the most part, it’s a pretty meteoric rise. She has just been amazing.” Rogers, like Hoglin, hadn’t participated in track before her senior year. But her addition has been welcomed by Yocum and the rest of the coaching staff, as she sprinted her way to a second-place finish in the 100-meter dash, a third-place finish in the 200-meter dash and helped lead the Park City 4x100 meter relay to a victory over Stansbury. “Every week she gets better,” Yocum said of Rogers. “We’ve only got one year with her, but she’s really stepped up.” On the boys’ side, the Miners were led by thrower Eli Alford, who took home region titles in the shot put and discus. He also placed third in the javelin. “He’s just a huge talent,” Yocum said of Alford. “He’s just kind of a beast. Hats off to him. He just did really well.” Others that stepped up for the Park City boys’ team were Victor Casarrubias, who finished fourth in the 100-meter dash and fifth in the 200-meter dash, and Deston Heiner, a freshman who topped his previous personal record by over a foot in the long jump to place fourth and qualify for the state meet. The Miners that qualified will travel down south to Brigham Young University next weekend for the UHSAA 3A State Championships. The girls’ team is expected to be more competitive, as Yocum hopes they can finish near fourth or fifth place as a team. For the boys, Yocum hopes that most of the qualifiers will be able to put forth personalbest performances. No matter what happens, though, Park City is sending more qualifiers this season than in years past, much to the delight of Yocum and the coaching staff. “A year ago, two years ago, three years ago, we were happy to get just one girl qualified in all the events,” Yocum said. “Now, we’ve got eight girls just in the individual sprints. Last year, I think we had one.” “We’ve got a lot of kids qualified. Overall, I’m pretty happy.” The UHSAA 3A State Championships will take place on May 19-20 at the Clarence F. Robison Track & Field Stadium at Brigham Young University. the trip to watch Morin play. His mother, Missy Morin, traveled from Colorado (she moved from Park City after Morin graduated from PCHS) to watch her son play. His fiancée, Makenzie Smith, also flew out from Omaha to catch the series. “As we’re driving to the field [on Saturday], he was like, ‘This is so weird, because I used to come and watch these guys play. I came to Bees games growing up,’” Smith said. “He was pretty excited about it.” His younger brothers, Colin and Blake Morin, were also there in support, as both attend the University of Utah. To top off his fan club, the Park City Baseball, another one of Park City’s youth baseball programs, 10U team was there to watch Morin, as well as be recognized prior to the game’s start. “Going into the day, I don’t even know how many [people were] on the pass list,” Morin said. “It was fun to play in front of friends and family again, since I don’t really get out this way much. It was a lot of fun and good to see everyone again.” Despite having a busy schedule during his short stay in the area, Morin found time to make his way up to Park City. He couldn’t do much, including bypassing a trip to one of his favorite spots in O’Shucks, but he was still able to take in the essence of Park City at the condo his family booked. He was hoping to stop by his old stomping grounds to speak with the current Park City High School baseball team, this year’s Region 10 champion. Unfortunately, his schedule kept him from doing that, too, but Morin still enjoys knowing his old team and his former teammates, and current PCHS coaches, Dave Feasler, Marshall Crawford and Robert Cashel, are doing well. “That’s really cool to see,” Morin said of his old team finding success. “I’m happy for that program and for Feasler. I haven’t seen him coach, haven’t been around him much, but as a player, you could always see when we played together, he got the game and understood it so well. It’s good to see him having success as a coach.” Though a lot has changed from his days as a little kid wishing to be a professional ballplayer, Morin’s goal remains the same: make it to the big leagues. Morin has been in the Royals organizations since 2012, but has yet to crack the big-league roster. If Sunday’s performance was any indication of things to come, however, Morin might get his opportunity sooner rather than later. “That’s the ultimate dream is to be called up and help the Kansas City Royals win another World Series,” Morin said. “You’ve just got to play hard every day, because you never know what’s going to happen.” |
