Last month, the University of Colorado Boulder completed a 51-point comeback on the final day of competition to take home the 2024 NCAA Skiing Championships. It was the Buffaloes first championship in nine years, and the second-biggest comeback on the final day in the history of the sport.
The Buffaloes finished the competition with 569.5 total points compared to runner-up and four-time defending champions Utah Utes with 567.5 total points. It was the smallest margin of victory since 1983 when the sport became co-ed.
“It feels surreal,” CU head coach Jana Weinberger said.
