BOZEMAN, Mont — The University of Colorado ski team had an overall solid day with 10 skiers finishing in the top 17 of the women’s 15K and men’s 20K classic races, but in the end it wasn’t enough as Colorado finished second to Denver by just four points, 629-625, here Monday at Bohart Ranch.
The Buffs entered the day down five points to the Pioneers and while the Buffs together a performance that overall was significantly better than the Pioneers, it didn’t translate to the team scores and the Buffs finished the meet just four points behind the Pioneers, the closest meet in the RMISA since the 2014 RMISA Championships when the Buffs were edged by Utah, 640-636.
