Quick decision surprised and pleased parents BEN RAMSEY The Park Record Park City High School senior Casey Crawford signed a letter of commitment to play soccer at the University of Nevada, Reno. The center midfielder said she had been looking at the school since last summer, when her club coach put her in contact with the coach- Continued from B-2 Potential bump in numbers tion for our athletes with aspiration to compete at that level.” ing staff there. Crawford said her time at Park City High School has been thoroughly enjoyable — most notably, the bus rides to games, where the team broke into karaoke to pass the time and particularly enjoyed singing Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb.” “She stole the show,” coach Micaela Carriel said. “She’s not the vocal leader, she’s not the first person to yell at someone, but when she does speak up, people listen. No matter whether it’s on the field, off the field, or during karaoke.” Crawford’s parents said they were surprised by their daughter’s decision, but happy about her choice. “We had just moved from New York state and she really wanted to stay out West,” said Sue Crawford, Casey’s mom. “Her club coach connected her with Nevada, and we were out there really soon to check out the school. It was just a really quick turnaround. We were happy she was able to stay out West and she’s close enough to see her play.” Crawford has not decided on a major yet, but as Cyrus would say, “It ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side; it’s the climb.” Emily Fisher, executive director of the Youth Sports Alliance, a nonprofit that fosters participation in winter sports and was founded in the wake of the 2002 Games, said Park City’s involvement in another Olympics would provide a boost for the organization. “Our goal is to get as many kids as possible off the couch and off the screen and out and into the mountains,” Fish- er said. “So we would love any bump in participation we would get.” Fisher said that, as a direct result of the 2002 Winter Games, there are 54 athletes competing in the 2018 Winter Games with connections to Park City. “We are very excited about the prospect of hosting another Games and can’t wait to collaborate with the future organizing committee,” she said.
