Some of Utah’s best amateur boxing talent will return to Park City Saturday night for Rise Boxing’s second Mountain Mettle event.

There, Rise will hold 20 amateur fights for both the Rocky Mountain chapter of the Parkinson’s Foundation and the gym’s youth scholarship program. The two charities will split all funds raised. 

The evening’s first fight will begin at 6 p.m. after the doors open at 5 p.m. The main event is expected to commence around 8 p.m.

“We’re really excited this year,” said planning committee member Jodi Atkinson. “We have seven people right now representing the gym, of all ages.”

Rise is in Summit Park and offers boxing, MMA and other martial arts classes. Most of their classes are low-contact. Pro boxer Maryguenn Vellinga founded the gym. 

Vellinga founded the gym to help out nonprofits through boxing. She leads classes for those with Parkinsons, who benefit from the sport’s movement patterns. 

Rise has over 30 people involved in its Parkinson’s classes. The classes run from 11 a.m. to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 

Rise has allotted 90 scholarships to kids this year to help them cover training and fighting costs. 

“Ironic, isn’t it? Because, when you think of Muhammad Ali, and you know what he’s been through, it (boxing) most likely led to Parkinson’s,” added Atkinson. “There is a lot of study into how that (classes) helps them retain basic movement during the course of the day, the week, the year.”

Rise is considering putting on further, similar fundraising events in the future. Their fundraising goal Saturday is $25,000.

Tickets will cost $20 for adults and $10 for kids and can be purchased online or at the event, for the same prices. Donations are also welcome with ticket purchases. 

All of the 20 fights will be USA Boxing sanctioned and lasting of three, one-minute rounds. All fighters, regardless of age or gender, will be wearing protective headgear. 

“The Rise community is such a great community that are all there for the same reason,” said Atkinson. “Hopefully we’re gonna get great weather, and it’ll be something people don’t see every day, especially in Park City.”

“A dream come true,” said Parkite Grant Fisher on his Olympic experience. 

The 27-year-old moved to town about a year ago looking to boost his odds at an Olympic podium. It worked, twice, as Fisher went on to make running history, becoming the first U.S. man to double-podium the 5,000 and 10,000 meter races at an Olympic Games. 

Paris was Fisher’s second Games — he also ran two events in Tokyo, and having finished both off-podium in the largely empty Japan National Stadium, it’s safe to say Fisher had a much better time in Paris at the Stade de France. 

“When you’re a kid in running, the Olympics is the biggest thing,” said Fisher. “Just to make it to the Olympics was a big dream of mine, and then leading into this year my only goal was to get on the Olympic podium.”

Fisher was surrounded the entire Paris Games by loving friends and family that made the trip. 

Reflecting on his performance, Fisher said he was able to relax and run with freedom after his first bronze medal Aug. 2 in the 10k. His body was on its last legs however. 

In both of Fisher’s races, he climbed from behind to earn his bronze medals in near-photo finishes. He admitted his plan in the 10k was to lead the whole time, and in the 5k that simply wasn’t possible, despite a slower race pace. 

Fisher detailed how he trains to have the confidence to break through the mental wall that tells him to stop, common amongst distance runners. He said if you’re not going to leave it all out on the Olympic track, when are you. 

“You know it’s going to hurt, there’s no way around it,” said Fisher. “You can’t envision being in the Olympic final and feeling incredible with 400 meters to go, it’s just not realistic. … There have been hundreds of times before where my body is screaming at me to stop and my mind is telling me you have nothing left, but each time you overcome that and push through, it’s a little easier.”

Fisher had a successful Olympic lead up featuring the U.S. Trials double-golds, however his whole year rode on the Aug. 2 and 10 finals. He said he was thrilled everything came together and he didn’t have any fluke illnesses or injuries. 

Fisher continued his season Aug. 25 at the Silesia Diamond League (the top international track league) event in Chorzów, Poland, with a 3k race. He finished in 15th place, immediately knowing it was time to shut it down for the season and return to home base in Park City.

The distance running season typically runs from February through September every year. 

Fisher will begin his 2025 base training now, with specific race preparations beginning in the new year. Fisher said he loves the tracks and trails of Park City and the neighboring areas, however may pop down to Arizona as he’s done before if things get too cold and snowy. 

On Fisher’s mind the most is the 2025 World Athletics Championships back at the Japan National Stadium in September. While Fisher wants to partake in the 2028 Los Angeles Games close to home, he admits the 2025 Championships could be his last big event on the track. 

The majority of track’s distance runners end up pivoting to the marathon and road running after their mid-20’s.

Fisher said he may try out a road race in the next year, but until Tokyo he’ll remain committed to the track. 

Already Fisher has been contacted by Grand Slam Track, a new league founded by sprinting legend Michael Johnson, looking to gather all the world’s top track stars for four big events starting next year. He sang high praises for the organization, which wouldn’t take him out of his regular Diamond League schedule. 

Fisher’s love for Park City may be contagious, and he jokes he may be inviting too many others to move to town. He currently trains at some of the Olympic winter sport centers and tracks nearby and along the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail. 

Fisher said Parkites may spot him out on the Rail Trail, and offered some tips for those running up here in the altitude: prioritize consistency over intensity every time and don’t push yourself over the edge because the altitude will get to you. He said he hopes Parkites are enjoying the variety of running locales, almost all with fantastic scenery. 

As for lifelong memories from Paris, Fisher said his favorites will be meeting all kinds of new athletes in the village, and going out clubbing with his friends and family after the 5k finish. He wasn’t able to do much socially with Tokyo 2020’s COVID restrictions. 

“The village is such a cool melting pot of athletes from every country in the world, speaking all these different languages,” said Fisher. “We all have this mutual respect for each other because everyone knows how hard it is to get there.”

He goes on, remembering: “After the 5k, I had a great group of friends and family there and we went out and went to this club. It was hilarious seeing my parents in a club and dancing. They were playing house music, it was very European style, and we just stayed there and danced at the nightclub in Paris until the early hours of the morning.”

Addressing the living conditions in the village, Fisher said he had a great time, the food was good, the U.S.’ AC units helped, however he wouldn’t necessarily rave about the infamous chocolate muffins seen on social media. He said they were good, but he thinks everyone becomes a bit obsessed with what goes on in the village. 

Fisher has been watching the U.S. Paralympians, who are in Paris through Sunday, while getting back into his training. Like so many other athletes in the area, he said they welcomed him as a transplant with fully open arms last fall.

Miners girls soccer routes Tooele on the road 

The Miners girls soccer squad beat Tooele on the road Tuesday 8-0. Seniors Lauren Kindt and Sophia Thimm had three and two goals, respectively, in the win. Park City now sits at 8-2 and 5-0 in regional play, with a short break before their next game against Murray Monday. The Miners will take on Murray at Quinn’s Junction at 3:30 p.m, the first of two home games for them next week, and Park City will then face Stansbury on Thursday. 

Miners girls volleyball improves to 3-1 with win over Weber

The Miners girls volleyball squad improved to 3-1 Thursday with a three-set-to-none win over Weber. The most points Park City surrendered in any of the three sets was 23 in the second set. The Miners are now 3-1 on the season, with two games to come Friday against Union then Pleasant Grove as part of a tournament at Utah Valley University. The Union game will begin at 2:30 p.m., with the Pleasant Grove game following at 4:30 p.m. 

Miners girls tennis moves to 2-0 with Wednesday win over Tooele

The Miners girls tennis squad moved to 2-0 Wednesday with their win over Tooele on the road. Park City swept all six matches, winning three singles and three doubles over Tooele. The team opened their season Aug. 29 with a seven-match-to-none win over Jordan. The Miners’ next match will be Tuesday against Hillcrest on the road, starting at 3:30 p.m. Including Hillcrest, Park City has four more regular season matches before the regional and state championships. 

Deer Valley hosting another Brews and Tunes event Saturday

Deer Valley Resort will be hosting another Brews and Tunes event Saturday from noon to 2:30 p.m. At Snowshoe Tommy’s atop Bald Mountain, guests can enjoy beers, live entertainment and takeaway food. A lift ticket is required to access the event, which is the last gathering of the summer.

It was another match, another dominant victory for the Miners boys golf squad last Wednesday at River Oaks Golf Course in Sandy City. Park City cleared second place Stansbury by 23 strokes, their widest margin of their young season. 

The Miners have now crushed their competition in all three of their regional matches this season: winning their first match at Oquirrh Hills Golf Course Aug. 13 by 16 strokes and their second Aug. 21 at Murray by 21. 

Next up for Park City is their home match Sept. 12 at Park City Golf Club, their home course. Players will begin teeing off at 8:30 a.m., with each team’s lowest players going first. In Utah high school golf regional matches, eight players play and six of their scores are counted towards their team score — meaning almost everyone needs to bring their A game. 

“It was solid,” Head Coach George Murphy said of the River Oaks win. “It was really good to see Lucas (Sweeney excel).” 

Sweeney had his best round of the season, 70, which was good enough for a tie for third. He is the fourth-ranked golfer in Region 10, behind Miners star Rawson Hardy, Forrest Summers, also of Park City, and Tommy Yates of Stansbury. 

Hardy, just a junior, shot a 68 last Wednesday, for the second match in a row. 

Murphy said the team fought off a shorter yet difficult course — River Oaks has narrow fairways and narrow, fast greens — and windy conditions to get the job done.  

He said wants the team to keep the ball rolling and not get ahead of themselves. 

“We don’t look past any any tournament,” Murphy added. “Home tournament in Park City, we want to play well there.”

The team pushes each other as hard as any of their competitors at these matches, Murphy said. Only six players will play at the state tournament in mid-October. 

Murphy said he likes the team’s odds at state, given the individual improvements he’s seen, and feels this group has more depth than last year’s that took home third. 

Other Miners playing great golf are Sam Hunt, Linus Einum and Chase Coulson. Those players are ranked 7th, 9th and 11th in the region, with average scores all under 79. 

“​​We’ve got to be more prepared for state, but I think we’re doing that in practices,” said Murphy. “A couple kids stayed at the range yesterday (after practice) just to work on things, other kids played nine holes.”

Murphy said this will be the first year he’ll take practice results into state lineup consideration. He’s thinking about 70% weight on match results and 30% practice, hoping the internal competition stays healthy and beneficial. 

After the home match next week, Park City will have four more regional matches. State is scheduled for Oct. 16 and 17 at Meadow Brook Golf Club in Taylorsville. 

“We’re at a good point in the season,” said Murphy. “They’re still challenging themselves to improve and play better, and keep working on the little things that are going to make a difference down the stretch.”

Miners girls volleyball makes it into the win column Thursday

The Miners girls volleyball squad got into the win column Thursday, defeating Brighton three sets to one. Park City dominated in the decider, winning the fourth set 25-13. The Miners have a nice break now before facing Murray on the road next Monday. The team is 1-2 heading into that contest and will return home to face Orem next Thursday. 

Wasatch football falls to Rigby Friday

The Wasatch football squad fell to Rigby Friday night 48-27. The loss moved the Wasps to 1-2 on their young season, with Weber up next this Friday on the road. Wasatch battled Rigby tough in Friday’s second half and outscored them by one point, which will hopefully translate into positive momentum this week. Rigby outscored the Wasps 28-0 in the game’s first half. The Weber game will kickoff at 7 p.m., and Wasatch will return home Sept. 13 to take on Orem. 

South Summit football falls to 0-2 Friday

The South Summit football squad fell to 0-2 Friday, losing to Juab 41-9. South Summit fell behind 38-0 in the fourth quarter before putting up a late touchdown (missed extra point) and field goal. The Wildcats will look to get into the win column Friday against Juan Diego Catholic, whom they’ll take on at home at 7 p.m. South Summit begins a two-game road trip following Friday’s game and will take on Grand County Sept. 13 and Layton Christian Academy Sept. 20. 

North Summit football remains unbeaten 

The North Summit football squad remained unbeaten Friday after defeating American Leadership Academy 44-8. The Braves are now 2-0 with a combined winning margin of 34.5 points. North Summit will next take on Parowan Friday in their home opener at 7 p.m. After Parowan, the Braves head back on the road to take on Milford Sept. 13.

Parkite Steele DeWald played for Park City High, Arizona State University and on several PGA tours over the last few decades. He won several thousand dollars while doing so but has since settled back into Park City, where he’s a real estate agent for The Agency. 

In DeWald’s free time, however, the 37 year old still gets out on the links and smacks balls around. He estimates he plays about three-to-four days a week now. 

In 2023, DeWald earned his golfing amateur status back. 

DeWald used his new status to enter Utah’s U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship qualifier Aug. 19, a one-day event held at Bonneville Golf Course. He eked out a win there, shooting a 67, moving himself into 43rd U.S Mid-Amateur Championship Sept. 21-26 at Kinloch Golf Club in Virginia. 

At Kinloch lies DeWald’s shot at two of the most prestigious events in the game — a USGA exemption into the 2025 Masters and U.S Open. 

The USGA put on 68 qualifying events between July 24 and Aug. 28, sending 264 to the championship. Utah’s other qualifiers are Daniel Griffiths and Mark Gardiner, each shooting a 68. 

Kinloch opened back in 2001, since hosting state and U.S. amateur events on its 7,229 yard course. 

“It’s considered one of the majors for amateur golf,” added DeWald. “They (USGA) pick phenomenal golf courses and get them in phenomenal shape, and they really provide the kind of best test of golf for a lot of guys.”

DeWald went out and played Kinloch Thursday, reporting back that it’s a beautiful course full of fun and short par fours. The course has 11 par fours, three par fives and four par threes. 

DeWald said much of his success there next month and potentially in next year’s majors will depend on his practice and work schedules. He knows his A-game is good enough to hang with anyone there and at the majors, he said. 

DeWald loves his life in Park City and has no plans on going pro again, even if he makes the majors and plays well. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t badly want to play the events though, he said. 

“I always told my wife, when I finally got my amateur status back, the quickest road to the Masters is as an amateur,” DeWald said. “It’s very challenging as a pro to make it into that tournament.” 

The Masters, golf’s most famous tournament, included a field of 106 this year, largely comprising the world’s top 50 players and past champions. 

DeWald knows it’s just a few weeks of good golf to earn his shot at a coveted Green Jacket. He can keep trying to qualify through the mid-am as long as his game allows. 

“​​It’s gonna be a fun little opportunity to see if we can get into the Masters,” said DeWald. “We’ll just see how it goes. … The odds of me going and winning a Masters are extremely low.”

Last year’s mid-am champion finished the Masters plus-eight, missing the cut. Since 2002, there has been stroke play followed by a cut and match play until a winner is determined.

A four-and-a-half hour drive proved to be no problem at all for the Miners football squad, who thrashed Dixie 41-0 Friday to move to 3-0. 

The Dixie game was Park City’s final non-region game. 

The Miners jumped all over Dixie early, scoring 21 in the first quarter. Park City scored a touchdown each quarter from there, shutting Dixie out for their second shutout of the season.

The Miners backfield stood out in what head coach Josh Montzingo called a complete team win. 

“It’s always interesting handling a long trip,” said Montzingo. “Looking at four or five hours of riding before you play a game and going down to a place that’s definitely a little warmer than we’re used to, so there were some obstacles that could have been in the way, but the kids handled it perfectly.”

Both running backs Eli Warner and Ethan Cunningham, whom Montzingo called his thunder and lightning, had two rushing touchdowns. Cunningham’s, only a sophomore, were his first, and Warner’s two moved him up to seven on the season. Cunningham has been running for the team’s hard yards this season, and Warner, the breakaways.

Star quarterback Bash Bodily had a 64-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter. Safety Harper Brent had a 30-yard pick-six in the fourth quarter. 

Montzingo lauded his group’s physicality across the board, especially his wide receiver room. He said their blocking played a big role in their four touchdown rushing performance. 

No Miner struggled in the heat Friday, despite temperatures in St. George reaching 99 degrees. 

“Ethan is only a sophomore, and he’s been carrying the load for us as far as hard, tough yardage in between the tackles all year and just hasn’t quite found the end zone yet, and was able to finally crack it,” added Montzingo. “That was really great to see him get rewarded for all the hard work he’s done for the offense.” 

Montzingo added that everytime Warner gets a touch, he “makes a lot of magic happen.”

Montzingo wants to see his team continue with their physical brand of football as the season wears on. He loved seeing all 11 guys on defense swarm around the football in pursuit.

The Miners get Hillcrest Friday night for their regional-opener and homecoming game. Park City defeated Hillcrest 44-0 last season. However, Montzingo knows his squad can’t afford to overlook any regional foe, especially with the distractions of homecoming week going on.

The Miners will follow the Hillcrest game with consecutive road games against Murray and Stansbury on Sept. 13 and 20, respectively.

“Another night for us to go put another great effort together as a team,” Montzingo said. “I expect nothing less than going out there, working on what we need to work on each week and getting better as a group and trying to refine little details.”

Montzingo is confident his team’s A game will be good enough to handle business Friday.

Park City will have to focus on stopping Hillcrest’s air raid style offense, which tends to be pass heavy and stretch out defenses. While Hillcrest is 0-3 this season, they have put up 58 points in those games. 

“They’ll have a lot of challenges back there, but our guys are up to that task, and they’ll be ready to handle it,” said Montzingo. “As far as their defense, usually up front, they tend to bring a lot of pressure inside and try to disrupt the box and cause a lot of chaos with your lineman and maybe get your eyes off the ball and what you would normally do to execute.”

The offensive line will need to be focused and prepared for the pressure. 

The Miners know they can’t count on beating Hillcrest or anyone just because their successful 2023 team did. They want to get the win and keep the momentum positive heading into their two game road trip. 

Park City will return to Dozier Field after Friday on Sept. 27 to take on Cottonwood.

University of Utah superstars Cam Rising and Brant Kuithe were expected back during the 2023 season. Both suffered ACL tears during the 2022 season (game four for Kuithe, Rose Bowl for Rising), and their recoveries became complicated and unfortunately dragged into 2023. 

As Utah’s 2023 squad was trudging to a 8-5 record with their backups in place, head ball coach Kyle Whittingham declared them out for the remainder of the season. He wasn’t sure whether they’d return or test the NFL waters. Thankfully for the program and possibly because of NIL dollars, the two returned for their seventh years of college football. 

Thursday night, both Rising and Kuithe suited up in the red, white and black and took the field at Rice-Eccles Stadium again. Both starred as the Utes thumped their in-state, FCS opponent Southern Utah University 49-0. The tandem combined for 279 yards of offense and 3 touchdowns, before the starters were subbed out with seconds to go in the first half. 

Utah moves to 3-0 against SUU, having also defeated them in 2022 73-7 with Rising and Kuithe at the helm. 

The two players’ performances were good enough for some individual accolades, Rising’s five touchdowns his career-high and Kuithe’s three a Big 12 tight end single half record. Rising also passed Alex Smith and Mike McCoy on the program’s all-time passing touchdowns list with his 50th. 

Smith was inducted into Utah’s Ring of Honor at the halftime break, having starred in the program from 2002-04, passing for 5,203 yards, 47 touchdowns and becoming a Heisman finalist in 2004. 

“Just a great team win,” said Rising. “It’s nice and easy when you got a guy like this (Kuithe). … Just have to keep it rolling and focus on next week.”

Rising received a thunderous applause on Utah’s first offensive series, when his nerves finally calmed, he said. 

The seventh-year signal caller took some shots on four scrambles, of which Whittingham and his staff weren’t big fans. 

Kuithe, too, felt some nerves in his comeback, which he admitted felt like an extremely long time coming. He felt them going up for two of his three touchdown grabs, which were wide-open go routes. 

Sophomore Dijon Stanley, who contributed sparsely last season as a back and on special teams, also found himself wide open, screaming up the right sideline twice on wheel routes. Stanley caught three balls for 150 yards and 2 scores, also adding 34 more yards on the ground on six carries. 

The former Baylor and BYU basketball-turned-Utes tight-end player even got in on the receiving action against the gashed SUU secondary, going up for a contested touchdown grab in the fourth quarter from Isaac Wilson, who is Deseret’s 2023 Mr. Football for Corner Canyon and NFL QB Zach Wilson’s younger brother. Wiilson played the majority of the second half with the second-teamers. 

Wilson’s development this year will be critical for the Utes should Rising decide to turn pro. 

“I’ve been preparing for two years, and it feels good to know I can still do it,” said Kuithe. “We still have a lot of games to go, and I can’t wait for next week.”

Kuithe took some shots Thursday that Whittingham is sure to worry less about. He also sent Rice-Eccles into a frenzy following his third touchdown with about a minute to go in the first half, when he battled past four Utah defenders. 

Stanley considered his first touchdown, the first of his collegiate career, the biggest moment of his young life, he said. 

Utah’s running back room is currently operating by committee, with Micah Bernard and Mike Mitchell also seeing five and six touches each for 33 and 21 yards, respectively. 

Wilson ended his night 7-11 with 74 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. 

Rising opened up about his mentorship role with Wilson, saying the pair talks through the good, the bad and the ugly throughout each game. 

Utah will have an additional two days of rest this week, with Baylor coming to town Sept. 7. The Bears open up their season Saturday at home with Tarleton State. 

“We definitely have room for improvement,” said Kuithe. “But Baylor’s coming here, too, which is a lot better, and we just have to get to work.”

The Utes will look to correct some mistakes, including penalties and fumbles, when they get back to the practice field Monday. 

Utah will also be hoping for good injury news as it relates to senior corner Kenan Johnson, who went down with what appeared to be a serious knee injury in the first half. The Georgia Tech transfer was on crutches and with a brace on behind the end zone as the game’s final seconds ticked off the clock. Whittingham floated moving Teo Johnson back to corner from safety if Kenan is to miss significant time. 

Whittingham knows Baylor will come as a huge step up next week. Despite their struggles over the last two seasons (3-9 in 2023), head coach Dave Aranda had them 12-2 with Big 12 and Sugar Bowl victories in 2021. 

Whittingham will hope his team can use Thursday’s win as a springboard for Baylor and the season. He knows the role confidence plays, especially for players who have missed significant time like Rising and Kuithe. 

“Competition obviously steps up quite a bit next week,” said Whittingham. “Baylor is going to come in here. They’ve got good players. They’re physical. They played us right down to the wire last year. … They’re a good football team.”

The Baylor contest will kickoff at 1:30 p.m. at Rice-Eccles, and Fox will broadcast it.

The sun was out Saturday at the Utah Olympic Park, and the Parkites shined in the U.S. Ultimate Airwave aerials competition. 

The event went all afternoon at the park and featured most of the top U.S. aerialists and ones from Argentina, Australia, Switzerland, Canada and China. The skiers flew off ramps into the park pool, part of their lead up to on-snow season. 

Parkite Winter Vinecki led Team USA on the women’s side, taking the last spot on that podium, third. Fellow Parkite and Olympic gold medalist Chris Lillis did the same with the U.S. men, taking sixth. Vinecki was the second-best women’s aerialist during the 2024-25 World Cup season. 

Another Parkite, Kaila Kuhn, finished in fourth Saturday. 

The Chinese dominated both events, with Shuo Chen winning the men’s and Mengtao Xu the women’s. Vinecki was just six-tenths off Xu’s winning score of 28.9. 

Lillis was the defending champion on the men’s side. 

U.S. Ski and Snowboard considered the competition a wild success. 

“It was exciting to watch all of the World Cup athletes from all around the world competing on water,” said U.S. Ski Event Director Malorie Irvin. “We made a few changes to help things run smoother … in-person judging (being one). We had two additional countries competing, which deepened the competition, making for a great event.”

The next stop for many of Saturday’s aerialists is Czechia, followed by China. The 2025 World Cup schedule will begin Jan. 18 in Lake Placid. The Lake Placid Cup will be one of five this season. 

The freestyle Cup at Deer Valley, featuring men’s and women’s moguls and aerials events, will begin Feb. 6.
