SALT LAKE CITY - At the conclusion of the Montana State Invitational, defending 1999 NCAA Champion Colorado comfortably defeated the field of nine teams to win its first competition of the season. Last week at the Utah Invitational, Colorado fell 2.5 points short of Denver who won the year's opening invite. This week, the Buffaloes scored revenge with a 33 point win over the Pioneers. The Utes placed third at the invitational tallying 452 points, 50 ahead of fourth place New Mexico.
The last day of competition featured the men's and women's slalom. In the women's event, New Mexico's Megan Mullen and Anna Beischer took first and second to earn high team points for the Lobos. Utah's top finishers were Liz Sherry who placed eighth followed by Annik Boulva in ninth.
In the men's slalom, freshman Jernej Bukovec led the Utes by taking third place with his best finish this year. Colorado's Andy Leroy won the race, besting Alaska's Per Klintberg by .49 seconds. Jed Scheutze also skied well for Utah placing sixth.
