    STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Senior Matt Gelso captured the individual NCAA classic title here Thursday and in the process led a huge comeback, helping the University of Colorado ski team jump from sixth into second place at the midway point of the 57th NCAA Skiing Championships.

    Two-time defending champion Denver continues to lead with 420 points, ahead of top-ranked Colorado, which closed the day with 351; the Pioneers actually held a 119.5 point lead over Vermont after Thursday’s first race, with CU in third, just a half-point back of the Catamounts at that point. Vermont eventually dropped into fifth with 287.5 points, passed by New Mexico (319) and Utah (300.5).
