Fly Freestyle (Fly), Team Park City United (TPCU) and Wasatch Freestyle Foundation (WFF) sent a record number of athletes to the 2016 USSA Freestyle Junior Nationals held March 10th through 13th in Sun Valley, ID.

Athletes competed in aerials, big air, dual moguls, moguls, halfpipe and slopestyle, with overall awards made in each of these events as well as for combined results from complimentary disciplines and the best competitor in each age class.

Alli Macuga, a twelve-year-old competing for TPCU was "super psyched" to receive invitations to compete in all six disciplines. Alli said, "I am really, really happy that I reached my goal this year to get invited to Junior Nationals. I don't quite know what will happen but as long as I have fun what is there to complain about? I am there to try my hardest."

USSA Junior Nationals is the first competition that athletes qualify for in their 'graduation' from local and regional competitions to national and international competitions in skiing.

TEAM NEWS & RESULTS

PARK CITY ICE MINERS UPDATE


The U16's ran neck and neck with the Salt Lake Grizzlies for the state title this season. The final winner take all game took place last week at the Park City Ice Arena, with Park City emerging as the victor. Park City will go to Nationals in Wayne, New Jersey from March 31st - April 4th.

The Mites just got home from Jackson Hole and were the only team to beat Casper Wyoming in the tournament with a 3-2 score. Otherwise Casper was undefeated and ended up winning against DC Wind in the finals. It was a supper aggressive game and the Mites stepped it up beyond their skill set, beating Casper to the puck every time. They used the boards to get the puck out of the zone and they never gave up. Park City ended up with 2W-1T-1L which put them in 3rd place.

Wrapping up the tournament season, the Ice Miners will host the Spring High Mountain Shoot Out from March 31st to April 3rd. 18 teams will be participating and traveling from areas of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah.
