Show IDA The Salt Like Tribune Wednesday, January 15, 1986 Community Sports and Recreation Basketball Comes Naturally To Olympus High Senior Just ask her opponents So tar this thunks, in season, Olympus is part, to Mindy. Titan senior is one ol the The top prep players in the state. She is tough off the boards, averaging 9 rebounds and 20 points a game. Against Kearns she scored 26 points By i at U Auer Tribune Staff Writer "She owns the inside of the key " . It is her area and she dominates it. Either with a turnaround jumper horn the middle or off a rebound, Olympus High's Mindy Tanner knows how to put the basketball in the hoop. Olympus won the Woods Cross Tournament early in the preseason, led by Tanner who was named MVP, "Ever since junior high school it has really been an important thing to her," Olympus coach Linda Mayne said. She'!! go to any camp she can find, including boys camps). She really has been dedicated." But basketball wasn't always on Tanner's mind. "In sixth grade I swore 1 would never play. But I know I have the height. Ever since 8th grade I've gone to camps." Tanner picked up the sport from her younger brother. "My brother was really athletic and I would shoot with him," explained the Titan senior. - As for her moves under the basket " .1 had to do something to play . , I against my brother, he's guess it came naturally. I needed something to fake him out." Tanner is such a threat from inside that often opponents double or triple team her. But Olympus has other methods of putting points on the hoard. "Everyone has double teamed her that we have played so far, said Mayne. She has made more points with two or more people on her than anyone. We usually try taking the ball inside in the beginning of the game. They opponents make changes and double team Mindy, then our guards take over." Guards Amy Timmons and Wendy Norman are capable of putting the ball up form the corners. Along with Tanner, junior Sue Lyons and sophomore Amy Gourely play the inside in cither a double or triple post offense. Olympus is a frontrunner for the Region Three title, along with Skyline and Cyprus. I knew we would be good, we work really well together," Tanner said of a team that saw three starters return from last season. I think our region is tough, so I couldn't say that we will take region," said Mayne. "We're among the top three teams. But Cyprus and Skyline could win, too. Vou end up playing 20 games, its foolish to think you wont lose. I just want to play my best this season," Tanner said. "I want us to play as a team. I hope we can take region and state is always a possibili- ty Tanner also participates in volleyball and track. Besides spending a lot of time in athletics she manages to maintain an honor roll GPA, despite taking AP honor classes. She is also a very good student." said Mayne. "She is enrolled in AP classes and it is hard on her. When we were playing in the tournament she was only getting three hours a sleep a night, because she was studying. She works so hard and has so much concern for her grades." T i Poto ibune Stoll bv Rtck r gon Olympus High senior Mindy Tanner, No. 23, is one of the top post high school players in the state this basketball season. Tanner hopes to continue her basketball career beyond high school. Broken Arm Didnt Stop Diver By Patti Auer Tiibune Staff Writer A broken arm can mean trouble. For Skyline High's Scott Teerlink it meant the end of the swimming season even before it began. Or did it? Sidelined for several weeks from prep diving action last season, burdened with a heavy cast on his arm, it appeared that Teerlinks chances of state diving title winning the were almost r i" But the Skyline diver beat the odds. Entering the state meet, just four weeks after having a cast removed, Teerlink surpassed the competition and won the championship. "I broke my arm playing basketball. and had a cast on for seven weeks," explained Teerlink. "It was a waterproof cast so after a while I was able to dive. But when it was wet it was really heavy. I could dive hut I was off balance. " "I just practiced a lot to get going again. The competition was really tight. I just thought about my dives. "It was quite a feat to win with such an injury," said coach Kurt "He put in a lot of workout time. He did well considering the time he had to dive without the cast and readjust." Once again Teerlink is among the top divers in the state. Thus far he stands in first place in competition. "It looks good right now, that he will repeat the title, said Warnecke. "But there are a lot of strong divers. He is running scared but running hot. He has a lot of natural ability and a lot of dedication and really enjoys the sport." Teerlink has not done too bad for someone that just 'picked up the sport only a few years ago. Teerlink, now a senior, did not dive competitively until high school. "The first time he dove competitively was really scary, I didn't know anything," remembered Teerlink. "I took last for a long time." We had a neighborhood pool and my cousin and I used to screw around. I didn't receive any coaching until high school. "There was an immense improvement from when he first started, said Warnecke, who JV am War-neck- NW-IV Tribune Stott Photo by Al Hartmann a Skyline High Diving comes naturally to Scott Teerlink, state diving championship. senior, who is hoping to retain the has coached Teerlink for two years "He had a lot of raw natural talent Well, fourth place is exactly last, and that's what Teerlink took as a sophomore at the state meet Last season he won the title and hope to repeat the feat. "It's scary though, the competition is harder this year." the senior Eagle said. "Everyone is so close and wants it so bad. There are at least eight divers that can take it." " "I hope to break the score ot 500. said Teerlink. "I'm after status. Right now I'm doing dives with a 2 3 to 2.6 degree of ditlicultv state I hope to be at about 3.0. degree of difficulty." Teerlink can be found at Cottonwood Heights spa, practicing, six days a week. But to the Skyline senior, it is time well spent. By "It's not really that I have to go . said Teerlink. "Its not work, but fun." Other divers that will chase after the title are Darren Nelson from Box Elder, Steve Pace of Woods Cross. Christopher Robbins of Cottonwood.
