BOZEMAN, Mont.-Freshman Mikaela Tommy won her first collegiate GS race and five Buffs placed in the top 10, vaulting the University of Colorado ski team into the lead after the first day of the Montana State Invitational Wednesday here at Bridger Bowl.
The Buffs bounced back after struggling in alpine action last week at Eldora. After the GS races last week, the Buffs were in fifth place and had 110 points. CU improved 48.5 points Wednesday and scored 158.5 points.
"It's all about confidence, and today was a great confidence builder after Eldora," CU coach Richard Rokos said.
