Buffs finish 2nd in NCAA skiing
Going into the final day of the NCAA skiing championships in Steamboat Springs on Saturday, the Colorado Buffaloes knew it was going to take a phenomenal performance to knock off Denver for the title.
The Buffs weren't bad, but they just weren't good enough, as they finished as national runner up for the third year in a row.
DU claimed its NCAA-record 24th all-time championship in skiing with 604 points - the most since the current scoring format was adopted in 2014. CU finished second with 563 points, which is its best total in the last five years.
"We came here to win and we didn't make it, so we can't be happy right now," CU freshman Alvar Alev said.
