This weekend I head down to Denver for my 25th year class reunion at the University of Denver. Today DU won its 19th Ski NCAA Championship! Go Pioneers!
Denver storms back to win 19th NCAA championship
BOZEMAN, Mont. — It came down to a duel. And the University of Denver drew fastest. On the strength of their men’s alpine team — a squad DU head coach Andy LeRoy thought was weakened by injury — the Pioneers pulled ahead of the University of Colorado in the final minutes of NCAAs, giving them a record 19th title.
The DU alpine men put 106 points on the scoreboard, which combined with the Pioneer women’s 75, was enough to pull them ahead of CU, which received 97 from its alpine women but just 39 from its two qualfiers on the men's side. The Pioneers ended the meet with 649.5 points to easily outdistance the Buffaloes at 619. Utah (550), defending champ Dartmouth (546) and Middlebury (529) rounded out the top five.
To the surprise of no one, CU’s Lucie Zikova — Thursday's GS winner — pulled ahead second run and won the women’s slalom in 1:27.09. Joining Zikova atop the podium in the men's slalom was Thursday's men's GS champion, John Buchar of Denver.
