GIRDWOOD, Alaska—The University of Colorado ski team had a tough day in men's alpine action at the Alaska Anchorage Invitational, and in the end fell from first to finish third here Saturday at Aleyska Ski Resort.
The women's race was first and three Buffs finished in the top 10, including clutch performances from freshmen Mikaela Tommy and Stef Fleckenstein that greatly enhanced their NCAA Qualification points, and another top 10 from senior Nora Christensen. Utah outscored the Buffs by 2.5 points in the women's race to take a one-point lead in the meet headed into the men's race.
