Red Bluff's Ellie Miller took sixth place, less than a half-second overall behind Fleming. As the storm once again closed in the boys took their turn on the Dual Sla- lom courses. The weather oscillated between driv- ing rain and heavy snow- fall. In the end, Shasta leaders Kyle Gardiner and Dylan Wakeland captured first and second. Foothill's Justin Youngman had one of his season's best perfor- mances sliding into third just ahead of Weed's Kyle Matheson. Dylan Kennedy of Mt. Shasta rounded out the top five finishers. The calculation of Sla- lom Qualifiers for the CNISSF State Champion- ships will determine which racers will represent their schools and the division at the races in Northstar at Tahoe, March 5-9. With the storm pound- ing down, and a forecast of heavy rain and snow for Tuesday, the final race of the North 1 division has been postponed to Mon- day, Feb. 27. The final races in the Giant Slalom series will be determined on that date, as well as which schools will be declared as Division Champions. As a team Monday, Red Bluff finished first in boys ski, fourth in girls ski, third in combined ski. For snow- boarding, Red Bluff was fifth for girls, sixth for boys and sixth combined. For the season, Red Bluff is third for combined ski and sixth for combined snowboard. Overall, com- bined ski and snowboard, Red Bluff is fourth. Individual results for Red Bluff athletes are as follows: Girls ski — Trinity Tumi- danski, eighth; Mariah Da- mante, 13th out of 17 ath- letes Boys ski — Connor Sousa, first; Devon Treat, fourth; Ryan Mueller, sev- enth; Luke Downey, 11th; Brandon Bronze, 12th; Cole Bunting, 14th; Logan Carver, 15th out of 21 ath- letes Girls snowboard — Ellie Miller, sixth out of 18 ath- letes Boys snowboard — Les Shank, 22nd; Terrin Gar- cia, 26th out of 29 athletes Schools competing in- cluded Mt. Shasta, Weed, Shasta, Enterprise, Foot- hill and Red Bluff. Alpine FROM PAGE 1 Bumgarner said he only played catch in the offsea- son and didn't throw off a mound until camp opened in Scottsdale. He had three bullpen sessions before throwing live batting prac- tice Tuesday. While Bumgarner has answered concerns about his workload every sea- son, so there's little reason to doubt his durability. He said his body doesn't feel appreciably different even after logging nearly 1,400 innings in the regular sea- son plus a heavy load in October. "That's a pretty good blessing there," Bumgarner said. "I've tried to watch and learn from guys who have gone before me. It's not an idea I've just had. That's been my plan since I started doing this." There's only so much to take away from live bat- ting practice, but Bochy had to appreciate the sight of Bumgarner yielding the mound to new closer Mark Melancon. It's a handoff the manager hopes to or- chestrate many times this season and beyond. Melancon faced Pence, his one-time teammate with the Houston Astros, but that barely registered withtheright-hander.Itwas clear that Melancon almost didn't notice who stood in the box. He was stone faced as some of the hitters joked around, focused on execut- ing his pitches. "It's fun throwing to Buster (Posey) all the time, but bringing a live hitter in there brings a little extra," Melancon said. "Whether there's a hitter in there or not, I like to try to raise the intensity level to elevate it as close to a game as pos- sible. It's internally trying to raise the stakes a little bit, playing games with myself." • The Giants held a vir- tual summit on Tuesday with Johnny Cueto, who remains in the Dominican Republic while tending to his ill father, and were en- couraged after getting an update from their co-ace. Cueto said via FaceTime that he hoped to secure a visa for his father and fly to Arizona over the week- end. That would give him a full week with his Gi- ants coaches, trainers and teammates before he would leave March 6 to join the Dominican team in the World Baseball Classic. Giants manager Bruce Bochy called it a produc- tive discussion. The man- ager said Cueto threw a 45-pitch bullpen session Tuesday in Boca Chica. We got his schedule mapped out," Bochy said. Cueto has not made a fi- nal decision on whether he will participate in the WBC, although his concerns ap- pear to deal more with leav- ing his father in Arizona as opposed to ensuring that he will be able to build up arm strength in time to make a 60-pitch start. Moises Alou, the Domin- ican team's general man- ager, is pushing for an an- swer. "Regardless of whether he pitches or doesn't pitch, he has to let them know as soon as possible," Bo- chy said. If Cueto competes, there's a good chance he would face Giants team- mates Brandon Crawford and Buster Posey in the Dominican team's second game of group play against Team USA. Giants FROM PAGE 1 CHRIS CARLSON — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner said he expected to start Friday's Cactus League opener but Giants manager Bruce Bochy said he and pitching coach Dave Righetti were still plotting out everyone's innings. What seemed cool in As- pen made him hot under the helmet at Daytona. "I was really uncomfort- able," he said. "It just hits you the whole time." Beard aficionado Dale Earnhardt Jr., who shaved his own for a wedding, openly admired his team- mate's facial hair. "That's a bad-ass beard," Junior said. "If I'd known he was going to come so strong, I would have worked on mine a little more. I certainly do envy what Jimmie's got going on." Most also drivers envy his record run at NASCAR history. Johnson's shot at history hit him in 2010 when he won his fifth straight Cup title and talk about chas- ing eight intensified. He won his sixth in 2013, and his surprising seventh last year now makes an eighth championship seem more inevitable than a longshot. With 80 career wins and a pair of Daytona 500 victories, the 41-year-old Johnson won't let the re- cord define him. "No," he said, "but I'm going to try (and win it), though." Long before he fires up the Chevy, Johnson's championship pursuit be- gins near dawn with a run. Johnson long ago traded his race helmet for a bicy- cle helmet during off hours at the track and put a twist on his Sunday finish line by running the occasional marathon before a race. At Daytona, he biked 42 miles on Sunday morning hours before he pulled dou- ble duty and raced in the Clash at Daytona and qual- ified for the 500. He's in- spired and coached mem- bers of the NASCAR fam- ily — crew chiefs, fellow drivers — and helped whip them into shape before he whipped them on the track. Johnson's days of scarfing hushpuppies and sipping sweet tea out by a road- side barbecue stand are long behind him. He's still an adrenaline junkie in the offseason, though his fast- est turns in the winter now come navigating the snow- capped slopes in Colorado. With a wife, two daugh- ters and enough race tro- phies to stuff a storage unit, the fitness freak has never been happier. John- son has even won over fans who had grown tired of the 48 dynasty built with team owner Rick Hendrick and crew chief Chad Knaus. Before the championship race at Homestead, John- son was greeted by fans holding up seven fingers, not the one-finger salute he'd grown accustomed to receiving. "I get the respect from being around a long time, now" he said. "I think the age kind of does some- thing." NASCAR fans are com- ing around to what the drivers have known for years — Johnson is an easy guy to root for. "I don't know anyone who doesn't like Jimmie," 2010 Daytona 500 cham- pion Jamie McMurray said. "I feel like he's the guy that you would like not to like because he does win all the time. He's got a beau- tiful wife. He's got great- looking kids. He just kind of like has everything. But he's just always so nice." Life as a stay-at-home dad will be confined to the winter for now. While Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and Carl Edwards have called it quits the last two years, Johnson said he's not even thinking of retirement. He loves racing too much. "When it feels like work someday, I'll stop," he said. "It hasn't been there yet." Certainly not when he's coming off a bit of a sur- prise championship.
