When Crossland returned to Park City as a sophomore in high school, she knew that she’d play soccer for the Miners. After all, she just moved from Colombia, where soccer was more of a religion than just a game. “People think they know how obsessed South American countries are with soccer, but until they’re living there and seeing it every day, they have no idea,” Crossland, now a senior, said. “Soccer just means so much more. … I mean it’s all they do from the moment they can walk. Even if they don’t play soccer as a sport, the kids who just play it for fun are still that much better than everyone else.” Crossland’s family moved to Colombia from Seattle when she was 10, where she learned a different style of soccer. Although she didn’t play very much for a women’s team, she did spend a considerable amount of time going up against the boys. But through the physical and technical battles, Crossland developed a style that became a positive when she moved to Park City. “Down in South America, girls soccer isn’t quite as established as it is here, but it’s definitely growing,” Crossland said. “The one club team down by where I lived only had, like, eight girls on the team, so we played with the boys a lot. Nearly every weekend, my sister (Maude) and I would just play Saturday games with the boys, and that’s where we learned the most.” That experience eventually proved PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Park City’s Coral Crossland sends a ball upfield while being defended by a Salem Hills player in the Miners’ 5-0 victory on Aug. 27. Crossland, who moved to Park City from Colombia when she was a sophomore, helped change the Miners’ style of play with her experience playing in South America. vital to the Miners soccer program when Crossland returned to Park City. A stalwart on defense since she became a Miner, Crossland stood out this season. She helped lead the Miners into Class 5A, where they overcame some growing pains to finish third in Region 8 and earn a 3-1 victory over Bountiful in the first round of the state playoffs before falling to Skyline in the second round. “Coral was essential on our back line and as a captain,” said Micaela Carriel, Park City head coach. “Her relentless effort on the field was not only vital to our success, but it easily transitioned to the classroom and the relationships with her teammates. I expect a lot of my seniors, and even more of my captains, and Coral represented that perfectly.” Crossland took on a leadership role this past season that was just as essential to the team’s success. Nominated as a captain for her maturity and poise, Crossland did something this past summer that helped transform her as a person when she traveled Ecuador to take part in Broadreach, a global educational and adventure program. She chose to take part in a threeweek medical camp where she spent her time learning medical terminology in Spanish, shadowing multiple local doctors and assisting them in any way possible. “It was beyond a life-changing experience that it’s something I know Please see South, B-4 assemble Park City’s Premier Co-Working Space Looking for a change of scenery?
