RED RIVER, N.M. and CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. — On the backing of Sunday's 5K classic race victories from both the men's and women's Nordic teams, and an individual slalom race victory from junior Nora Christensen on the alpine side, the Colorado ski team went on to claim a 6½-point victory at the New Mexico/Drew Judycki Memorial/Jade Enterprises Invitational.
The women's Nordic team placed four finishers inside the top five of the standings of the 5K classic held at Crested Butte to give them a 19-point margin of victory in the race. It was a bit closer on the men's side, but with three Buffalo finishers in the top six, Colorado won the men's race by a four-point margin over Utah.
