Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, June 3-5, 2020 Continued from B-1 Golf tourney Donahue and Sophia Adrian and sophomore Emily Hawksworth — competed in the tournament. Marshall and Donahue took home second-team all-state honors by finishing 12th and 16th respectively, while Hawksworth, Adrian and Burnham finished 35th, 45th and 62nd. “When I got the email invite, it said that we could only have six athletes participate so I took what was our top-six entering the season and asked if they were interested,” Murphy said. “None of them even considered saying no because they were so excited. They were all willing to get in any bit of practice time they could and it was pretty fun for them.” Efnor was Park City’s top finisher, taking home first-team allstate honors after she finished in a tie for ninth place, shooting a 16-over, 89. Although it wasn’t the score she wanted, Efnor was happy with it after practicing for a few weeks prior to the start of the season. “Usually I shoot in the low80’s so honestly I wasn’t that excited about my score but I sort of lucked out with in the end to finish where I did,” Efnor said. “We only practiced as a team in the beginning of March, but we were wearing coats and pants so it was miserable. I really believe that if we would’ve had a longer season, I probably would’ve scored much better but I’m happy.” Murphy echoes Efnor’s sentiment, as the golf courses in Park City didn’t open up until May 1. This limited the Miners’ ability to practice while other schools did. “Golf pretty much stopped for us when the season shut down, especially because a lot of our parents didn’t want our athletes traveling into the valley to practice where the golf courses were open,” Murphy said. “It’s tough when you’ve had barely any time to prepare while your competition has pretty much kept playing. … So to put three girls in the top 20 and five in the top 45 is a really good sign of our future. Making matters even more difficult, Murphy and his assistant coach Paul Donahue weren’t able to help the girls prepare for the state tournament. At the behest of Park City activities director Jamie Sheetz, B-3 The Park Record Murphy and Donahue left the girls alone to practice on their own to make sure no social distancing guidelines were broken and no one else was put at a greater risk. While the tournament itself was a success, according to Murphy, and it was a solid showing by the Miners, the biggest thing about the tournament is that it didn’t completely let the season go to waste. Park City’s team was relatively young this season with 13 of its 16 players expected to return next season, seven of whom are juniors. This tournament gave the girls the experience that will help them next season so that when they play in tournaments of this magnitude, they’re have a level of comfort to rely on. “The juniors, they’ll be back next season as seniors to lead this team and that’s what I’ll be expecting of them. … And what’s impressive is that they’re all committing to play in UGA tournaments this offseason to they’re taking it seriously,” Murphy said. “We usually get about 1-2 girls who play those tournaments, this year we are getting about 4-5 who are playing. It’s tough when you lose that year of development but our girls are doing the right things to try and get it back, so they’ll be ready next year when the time comes.” Build the Perfect Team from the Safety of Your Screen J UNE 1 6 & 17 Recruit top talent for your company, whether you have 1 job opening or 20!

So to make sure that he’s staying in compliance with the guidelines, he got back to work right away with a new training schedule for the three Continued from B-1 Sports briefs SWIM LESSONS REGISTRATION teams within the football program. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays Montzingo has organized three different groups of 24 athletes to take part in weight training. With hour-long sessions beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 12 p.m. — allowing for 30 minutes of sanitizing in between — Montzingo has set up the weight room to allow for proper social distancing and is checking temperatures before and after. While it’s mainly the varsity and junior varsity teams on those three days, the freshman team will be doing the same thing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. “We worked within the parameters set by the Summit County health department, and Sheetz came up with a plan for how many kids we felt we could have safely indoors,” Montzin- go said. “We already had an outdoors statute so we had to create the indoor one. … And I really think we did a great job of that.” According to Sheetz, the allowance to resume training is a big step in the right direction if there is to be fall sports once high school resumes in August. But that’s only allowed if the guidelines are followed and there are no setbacks. “As of today, it looks like there will be sports in the fall. … But we don’t know what that’ll look like in terms of spectators and guidelines,” Sheetz said. “UHSAA said they weren’t going to sanction sports until everyone is in the yellow phase. … If people are careless, it’s going to hurt everyone so that’s why it’s important to follow the rules. I hope we just keep progressing forward so we can give our kids that chance to play again.” to the PC MARC.
