INDIANAPOLIS – The Colorado Buffaloes Ski Team has qualified a full 12-skier contingent for the 68th Annual NCAA Ski Championships, set for March 10-13 in New Hampshire, the association announced Tuesday.
Skiing for the Buffs in search of their 21st National Championship (20th NCAA) will be Magnus Boee (men's Nordic), Anna-Maria Dietze (women's Nordic), Louis Fausa (men's alpine), Stef Fleckenstein (women's alpine), Filip Forejtek (men's alpine), Cassidy Gray (women's alpine), Emma Hammergaard (women's alpine), Oyvind Haugan (men's Nordic), Weronika Kaleta (women's Nordic), Will Koch (men's Nordic), Ezra Smith (women's Nordic) and Joey Young (men's alpine).
The 12 Buffs representing CU will be on the youthful side with one senior, three juniors, three sophomore and five freshmen. Six Buffs; Fausa, Gray, Haugan, Kaleta, Koch and Smith, will be making their first appearance at the NCAA Championships. Boee, Dietze and Hammergaard will be making their second appearance while Fleckenstein, Forejtek and Young will be making their third appearance. This group of skiers has compiled 67 top 10 finishes this season with 19 podium appearances and 10 race victories. In their careers, those numbers jump to 138 top 10 finishes with 41 podium appearances and 16 race wins. Nine of the 12 skiers have hit the podium in their careers and five have won at least one race in their careers.

Since I always forget the scoring system in skiing, I have posted the below in various prior years' threads. (I'm assuming/ hoping there's no change this year.) -
"Scoring in NCAA Skiing- the top 30 finishers of each race earn points. The scores earned for the top 8 finishers from 1st through 8th are 40 (for 1st place)-37-34-31-29-27-25-23. After that, the 9th through 30th places earn one point less for each lower place finish, so for example 9th place earns 22 points, 10th place 21 points, etc., all the way down to the 30th place finisher, who earns 1 point."
(Note-at the NCAA championships, teams can only bring 3 athletes of each gender for each type of skiing (Alpine and Nordic), so all their finishes count. For earlier season races with more than 3 racers per team competing in each event, only the top 3 finishers for each team get their finishes counted when calculating their (and other) team's score.)"
