Additionally, the Team’s Academic All-Americans were recently named and they include, for Outstanding Honors; Scarlett Abbett, Samantha Vogel, Gavin Ziesler, and Honors to Camden Hardy.

At the Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center venue, the Miners received the silver medal.

They posted on social media, “We put in a great effort against a tremendous Kearns team!” 

The varsity boys, who train at the Park City Aquatic Center in the Ecker Hill Middle School, had an impressive 3 – 0 record in this years’ playoffs before the Kearns High School took the gold.

I've lived in Park City for 30 years but right off the starting line, my journalism professors expressed plaudits after class for writing more so about the small-town sports in the surrounding mountains than the urban updates they assigned. Therefore, I’m on par punning and penning Parkites' pastimes. Turning high and early through my career, I’ve worked communications for The Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics. Additionally, there's been National Geographic, Patagonia, NCAA, USA Nordic and the United States Library of Congress, so I guess you could say this ain't my first rodeo.
