Skiers Finish Third At NCAA Championships

STOWE, Vt. — The University of Colorado ski team couldn't overcome a 65-plus point deficit entering Saturday's final two events here and eventually settled for a third place finish as the 66th annual NCAA Skiing Championships came to a close.

Utah won its second title in three years, skiing mostly conservatively in both slalom races in winning the event with 530½ points. Entering the day with a 65½-point lead over the Buffaloes, all the Utes really needed to do was have all six of their skiers finish in the middle of the pack to secure the victory.
