LAKE PLACID, N.Y.— It just wasn't meant to be. After pushing the clear favorite Utah to the brink, the Colorado Buffaloes Ski Team fell just short of its ultimate goal and finished second at the 70th Annual NCAA Ski Championships with the 20K classic races closing out the event here Saturday at Mt. Van Hoevenberg.
Hanna Abrahamsson finished second and Magnus Boee fifth to earn first-team All-America honors and Weronika Kaleta and Will Koch picked up second-team honors to pace the Buffs on the day. Anna-Maria Dietze finished 11th, missing an All-America honor by just two-tenths of a second after an hour of racing.
