athletes best coaches colorado efforts fifth future good looks national ncaa next proud second skiers success team turned won
The NCAA Championships turned out to be a success for us. It wasn't as well as we were hoping, but we battled from fifth place after the first day to second in the end. Even if we had skied up to our potential, Colorado was unbeatable. The best team won this week. We were the second best and that is where we finished. I am proud of our coaches and athletes and their efforts to make us a national powerhouse in skiing. The future looks good and many of these same skiers will be back next year.

We're not out of it yet. Things are tight at the top and anything can happen in the slalom. We're going to need some strong runs, but we are still in the race.
