Show while ski team members placed top in the nation ¦¦¦¦¦¦i With Alta and Brighton practically in its backyard, the University of Utah consistently produces an outstanding ski team. Under the tutelage of Coach Fricdl Lang, this year's group took honors at many meets, including those held at Winter Park and Aspen, Colorado, and Mt. Hood, Washington. Though Denver University topped the Conference, the Utcs were runncrs-up. They shone again at the Olympic tryouts held at Sun Valley in March. Here Darryl (Pinky) Robison was selected as a member of the team which will represent the United States in Norway next February. Jim Murphy, captain of the Utah team, was named as an alternate. Murphy also won the cross-country contest. Not to be outdone, the girls turned out in such force that three complete teams were formed. Under the guidance of Nanette Taylor and Lorna Keller, they represented Utah at the invitational meet at Middlebury, Vermont. Altogether, Utc students may well be proud of their fabulous ski teams. 309 |
