ASPEN—Sophomore Stef Fleckenstein won her first collegiate race and the women's team put up another solid performance but it wasn't enough for the Buffs not to slip from second to fourth place as alpine action is now concluded for the Denver Invitational.
The Buffs took the lead after the conclusion of the women's race on the strength of three top 10 finishers, but then fell to fourth after the atypical men's race in which the Buffs top finisher was Filip Forejtek in 14th place. When all the dust settled, CU was fourth with 278 points behind Utah (317), Denver (306) and Westminster (288) and just ahead of fifth place Montana State (274).
