BOULDER – For any college student, it might not seem like it during the process, but when graduation is rolling around there comes the realization of how fast the time went by.
Jesse Knori of the Colorado women's Nordic team is realizing that her time as a Buff competing with friends is nearing an end and the real world awaits. But there is much more about the journey of her career that makes her story and current standing unique.
When Knori was 12 she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to mistakenly attack the joints.
