MIDWAY, Utah—The Colorado Buffaloes ski team closed out the 2022 season Saturday and finished the NCAA Ski Championships in fourth place after a rough day of skiing here at Soldier Hollow.
Entering the day in fourth, the Nordic teams swung for the fences, not looking to move up one or two spots but aiming for a national championship. Sometimes when you swing for the fences, you miss, and that's essentially what happened to the Buffs Saturday.
The men's team of Magnus Boee, Will Koch and Fredrik Nilsen were among the best teams, and at the lap check points, Boee was fourth after the first lap, Koch was third after the second lap and Nilsen was in 11th at the midpoint of the race.
