JACKSON, N.H. — The University of Colorado ski team gave it their best shot, but in the end there was just too much to overcome as the Buffaloes finished second in the 64th annual NCAA Skiing Championships which concluded here Saturday.
Utah won its first title since 2003 and its 11th overall, overtaking defending national champion and third-day leader Denver with 541½ total points. Colorado, which went into Saturday's two Nordic freestyle races 42 points behind the Pioneers, pulled past them down the stretch in finishing with 525 points; DU took third with 524. Dartmouth claimed fourth (400) and Vermont rounded out the top five (355).
