CU skiing: Buffs hold off DU to win NCAA championship

Two CU women finish in top 10 in slalom

Carrying a slim lead into the final day of the NCAA skiing championships at Lake Placid, N.Y., on Saturday, the Buffaloes knew that a nice, solid day in the slalom races could bring home a national title and one little mistake could ruin their title hopes.


"Ski solid and finish," junior Henrik Gunnarsson said. "I think we pulled it off pretty good."


Yeah, not bad.

Rokos is such a treasure. 25 years and 8 national titles! Unreal that you can win one every 3 years or so in today's world. Congrats to this team on a great season!
