Hyncicova Sweeps Nordic Titles; Four Buffs In Top Five In Freestyle

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).

Colorado has now finished as the runner-up seven times, with eight titles, in 27 seasons under head coach Richard Rokos. All-time overall, CU has 20 championships and 12 runner-up finishes in the sport.

"Well it was a little surprise (to finish second) because we were sort of hanging on in third place," head coach Richard Rokos said. "It was actually excellent work on ladies and men's side here today (in Nordic). They did earn a lot of points and got us back into the hunt. Just looking back these four days, we lost it all on day one in relatively our strongest event, but it is the sadness of alpine skiing."

It was the closest margin between first and second since 1999, when Colorado outpointed Denver, 650-636, as well as the second-closest among the top three finishers since the sport went coed in 1983 (17.5 points; in 1998, 16 points separated the same top three: CU 654, UU 651.5, DU 638).

...

LOOKING AHEAD: Nine of the 12 student-athletes who competed for the Buffaloes in the 2017 championships are scheduled to return for the 20186 season. CU will graduate eight seniors, three of whom competed here, Jackson Hill, Jesse Knori and Mads Stroem (all Nordic performers); also graduating are Roger Carry and Katie Hostetler (Alpine) and Camilla Brautaset, Lucy Newman and Max Scrimgeour (Nordic).

FUTURE SITES: The 2018 meet will return to the west with sites currently bidding for the honor; CU has again submitted a bid to host at Steamboat Springs.
