SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah ski team travels to the RMISA Championship this weekend which doubles as the NCAA Western Regional meet, hosted by Denver from Feb. 26-27.
The meet begins with the men's and women's giant slalom races on Friday in alpine along with the women's 5-km and men's 10-km freestyle races in Nordic. On Saturday the meet closes out with the men's and women's slalom races along with the women's 15-km and men's 20-km classic races. The alpine races are held at Beaver Creek Resort with the Nordic races at Maloit Park.
"The team is really motivated for the NCAA Regional Championships," Utah Director of Skiing Kevin Sweeney said. "We have a really nice balance right now of knowing we are fit, fast and skiing well, yet remain extremely focused as we enter the championship segment of the season. We have had some excellent training and recovery since New Mexico so I think we are poised for solid results. This should be a good run for us."
The Utes won the RMISA regular-season championship by 21 points over Colorado. The Utes have won two of the four invitationals this year - the Utah Invitational and the Colorado Invitational.
The Utes have been one of the most consistent Nordic teams this season. On the men's side, Nick Hendrickson has four podium finishes with a win in the 10-km freestyle at the Utah Invitational. Niklas Persson has five podium finishes and has finished in the top 10 in all eight races. Kevin Bolger has also finished in the top 10 in every race while Noé Bellet has five top-10 finishes.
For the women, Veronika Mayerhofer has not finished lower than fourth this year, recording seven podium finishes in eight races. Sloan Storey won the 10-km classic at the Utah Invitational and has two podium finishes and six top-10 finishes. Natalia Müller has seven top-10 finishes on the year.
In alpine, Julie Mohagen has won the last three women's slalom races. She has six total podium finishes. Chloe Fausa has two giant slalom victories and three overall podiums with five top-five finishes. Roni Remme has finished in the top 10 in six races with one podium.
On the men's side, Endre Bjertness has two giant slalom victories and three total podium finishes. Joergen Brath has four top-10 finishes this year while Dominic Demschar has finished in the top 10 three times. Ty Sprock has one podium finish and two top-10 finishes.
