Paige Jones, Sam Macuga and Josie Johnson all grew up in Park City. They represented their hometown on a team of five U.S. ski jumpers at the World Cup in Sapporo, Japan this past weekend.
“We actually, as a team, haven't gotten to go due to COVID," said Macuga."It was canceled many years in a row, and this for everyone it was exciting to be back there, and of course, having my two teammates from Park City. I've known them forever.
“The Youth Sports Alliance was really excited to see that three of the five women who were competing in Japan in the Ski Jumping World Cup this weekend started in our Get Out & Play program," said Emily Fisher, Executive Director of YSA. “I just really fell in love with the sport," said Macuga."I ended up trying other ones, but nothing really compared, so I ended up sticking with it, and now here we are about 10 or 11 years later, still doing it.”
