Show B-2 Wed/Thurs/Fri, April 22-24, 2020 The Park Record Parkites earn national nominations #1 Title Company 2018 Th e 10 local athletes qualify for USA Nordic squads Park Record. 2019 Committed To RYAN KOSTECKA The Park Record NARI TROTTER The 2020-21 USA Nordic competitive season is still over half a year away, but that doesn’t mean the organization can’t make headlines. USA Nordic announced on Sunday that 47 athletes throughout the country have been nominated to the junior and senior national teams. This is the largest ever nominated by USA Nordic, up from 38 nominees last year. The additional nominees prove that USA Nordic is continuing its rise in the world rankings with athletes beginning to thrive as the highest levels of competition. “Every season, the goal is to always make the team for the next season so it wasn’t too much of a surprise that I was nominated for it after the year I had,” said Samantha Macuga, 19, of Park City. “But right now without ski jumping and the season being cut short, it was STEFANIE BOWEN (435) 649-8322 theteam@parkcitytitle.com 1670 Bonanza Drive • Park Record Building COURTESY OF SAM MACUGA Parkite Sam Macuga was recently nominated by USA Nordic to be a member of the women’s senior national ski jumping team. This is the second consecutive season Macuga has been nominated, and after last season’s success on tour, she’s ready for the next step. definitely something to look forward too with the announcement of the team. I was excited because I made the team again, so even though I can’t train right now it gives me something to look forward too when we get back at it.” This is Macuga’s second consecutive season with the ski jumping senior national team, one of 10 Park City athletes representing the 47-person nominees. When she said she wasn’t surprised about making them team based on the previous season, it didn’t come from a place of arrogance but rather understanding of the system. There is a certain set of criteria that athletes must meet in order to be nominated for the national teams, and Macuga met those terms. But when the announcement finally came out publicly, it was more of a relief for Macuga because she no longer had to keep the secret she was holding the past week or two. “For the athletes, we get told a bit ahead of time so the official announcement is for everyone else. … We can’t tell anyone but I did tell my parents, so that was cool,” Macuga said. “Sometimes we can tell who made it based on the criteria but there is discretion involved, that’s for sure. Sometimes we can tell based on who’s on the email change of being told we made it, but not everyone makes the team for the same reason so it’s exciting to see in the end.” WALTER GALLWAS JR./POINT PRODUCTIONS Tess Arnone is pictured smiling with Aspen Bennett-Manke following the conclusion of the Junior National Championships in Park City last year.

Please see National, B-3 Wednesday, April 22, 2020 REGIONAL FORECAST FIVE DAY FORECAST FOR PARK CITY ALMANAC Park City statistics for the week ending April 20 Park City locals make up 10 of the 47 athletes who’ve been nominated to the men’s Nordic combined junior and senior national team, the women’s ski jumping junior and senior national teams and the men’s junior national ski jumping team. While Macuga is a member of the senior team, fellow Parkite Rachael Haerter is looking to make that jump after another successful season on the junior national team. “Even though it’s my second year on the team, I was so excited to find out when my coach emailed me with the news,” Haerter said. “I think the main difference from the first time to the second time is that I wasn’t really trying to make the team the first time so it was a surprise, but this time I was working to make it back on the team. It’s definitely still a big deal to me and I’m just so excited to get going again.” Although they don’t compete on the same team, Macuga and Haerter are connected to one another from when they were younger and first learning about skiing. Without the Youth Sports Alliance in Park City, both Macuga and Haerter believe that they never would’ve participated in ski jumping, and likewise would’ve fallen in love with it. Through the “Get Out and Play” program, they embarked on a journey that would lead them to where they are right now.
