CU’s All-American will be the top returnee to the men’s Nordic team, having posted five podium finishes in 2018
BOULDER — Colorado men's Nordic skier Alvar Alev, who finished as runner-up in the 20K freestyle race at the 2018 NCAA Championships, was granted another year of eligibility to compete with the Buffs in 2019.
With the adoption of proposal 2017-20 and subsequent change of Bylaw 12.8.3.5 – Delayed Enrollment, CU filed a waiver with the NCAA to revisit Alev's amateur certification completed by the NCAA Eligibility Center. Colorado learned Wednesday the waiver was approved and that the legislation is retroactive, granting Alev the extra season of eligibility.
