PARK CITY, Utah — Calvin Marsh will go from a Miner to a Mariner when the Park City High School senior attends college in the fall at the United States Merchant Marine Academy on its sailing team.

At the academy’s campus in New York, for which the mascot’s name is the Mariners, he’ll study a double major in Marine Transportation and Naval Architecture.

Marsh is the first athlete from the Park City Sailing Association (PCSA), which is based at the Jordanelle Reservoir, to go on to compete on the collegiate level. 

 

“We could not be more proud of him,” said a social media post from the PCSA. “His career moving forward in the sport is bright, and we’re so thrilled he found his home at PCSA.”

 

 

“Calvin didn’t get here on his own,” Marsh’s mom, Casey, wrote on social media. “We’re grateful for all the help and support that came from Park city Sailing and it’s members over the years.” She and his dad, Joel have been highly-involved volunteers in every level Park City Sailing.
