The Park City High School volleyball team played its first region game of the season on Tuesday, taking on the Stansbury Stallions on the Miners’ newly repainted court. In fact, both of Park City’s gym floors were refinished over the summer by Norman Sports Floors out of Altamont. Over the course of two weeks, the wood floors were sanded down, giving them the appearance of new wood, then repainted with designs approved by basketball head coach Mike Doleac. “We wanted the court to be the primary thing people are looking, at not the key,” Doleac said, adding that the guiding principle for the design was to “just keep it clean.” UTAH OLYMPIC PARK Utah Olympic Park is open for the summer, including its bobsleigh rides, zip lines, ropes courses, drop tower, tubing and more.

TANZI PROPST/ PARK RECORD The courts now feature Park City High School’s emblems in their centers, along with slimmer lines for a simpler design. blem in the center, and lines for two auxiliary basketball courts that run the width of the gym, allowing the team and physical education classes to play two games at once in each gym. One of the facilities has also been painted with pickleball lines, though Sheetz said the courts are strictly for P.E. classes and aren’t fit for pickleball tournaments. Joe Norman, owner of Norman Sports Floors, said normally his team refinishes Park City’s courts twice a year to keep them shining – once in summer, once in winter. But after years of multiple coats, those finishes build up to the point where the floors look dirty and the lines dim. “You can’t even see that it’s a wood floor under it at some point,” he said. “We go in with a sander, take all the finish off and take it down to where it’s basically new wood again.” The process of resurfacing can be done up to nine times before it starts compromising the floorboards, Norman said. He added that the PCHS floors are “not near the end of their lives” and have an estimated two or three more resurfaces in them, a process priced around $15,000 per gym floor. Norman said the new, thinner line scheme will keep the floors looking new longer. “There’s not a lot of paint to get dingy looking,” he explained. “The more paint you put on, over time, the more it tends to look dingy looking.” A less-painted area means fewer chances for buffing errors and cracks that form along board seams. Athletic Director Jamie Sheetz said the company also fixed “dead” spots in the floor. “We had a couple ones where we put a ball down and it didn’t come up as much,” he said. Since the floor’s resurfacing, Sheetz said he has heard positive responses from players and staff. “Hopefully we can keep it looking good,” he said. budget and I didn’t. So, I have a 1932 gold medal.” That gold medal, along with millions of dollars’ worth of Olympic treasures Crawford has collected over the years, now resides in the archives at the U.S. Olympic Committee headquarters in Colorado Springs. Crawford, 71, felt it was time to turn his passel over to the USOC. He spent $1.5 million to build an archive room (an entire floor, actually) that includes a 225-square-foot fireproof Special Collections area where the torches and medals will live behind glass. Parts of the collection will eventually go on display at the U.S. Olympic Museum, now under construction in Colorado Springs and expected to open in 2020.
