Skiing: Lobos finish fifth at Utah Invitational

New Mexico couldn’t move up in the standings in the second half of the Utah Invitational that concluded on Monday.

The Lobos finished in fifth-place, the same position they were in prior to the Nordic squad taking over for the alpine skiers.

Junior Karoline Søvik Mykelbust, who missed most of last season with a broken bone at the RMISA qualifier last season, finished with two top-ten finishes early last week for the Lobos. Sydney Staples also joined Mykelbust with a top-ten finish in the women's slalom, finishing in 7th.

The men's alpine squad sent down a total of six skiers for the Utah invitational, and for five of them it was their first time competing at the collegiate level.
