Ute Skiing Up 35 At NCAAs With 1 Day To Go

[GameForAnyFuss]

A really strong last two days have lifted the Utes to the brink of the NCAA championship. We got off to a slow start in the slalom on Wednesday and ended the day in 4th. But we were outstanding in Thursday’s nordic classic and today’s giant slalom and we’ve shot out to a 417-382 lead over 2nd place.

Here’s the rub: Last year we were up by a similar margin going into the last day, and we lost the natty by half a point to Colorado, who was in 2nd place. Guess who’s in 2nd place this year? Yep…Colorado.

Let’s hope this year turns out differently and we bring home the natty tomorrow!

Thanks for the update….yeah, last year was a bummer. I remember that last season the Red Rocks were also first going into the final exercise and ended up in third place. Keeping my fingers crossed this year.

Dartmouth is the threat, we are much stronger than CU at Nordic this year.

Looks like we have a 56 point lead going into the final event, women’s freestyle – men dominated their race

Is this on TV or online somewhere? Yes, it is: https://www.ncaa.com/event/4543

It sounds like Utah has the Natty in hand, and only the second-place spot between Dartmouth and CU is up for grabs.

Women got 2nd and 5th so far, which should wrap it up. Go Utes!
