COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo.—Freshman Jacob Dilling earned his first collegiate podium and the Colorado Buffaloes Ski Team put three in the top five of the men's giant slalom race here at Copper Mountain Resort Friday, pushing CU into a tied for second place in the team standings at the midpoint of the alpine-only Denver Invitational.
Dilling had the fastest first run in the field, leading by two-tenths, but in the end, missed his first win by just seven-hundredths of a second to Denver's Tobias Kogler. Senior Filip Forejtek and sophomore Louis Fausa finished fourth and fifth, respectively, giving the Buffs three in the top five and a valuable 97 team points, easily winning the race as a team.
