INDIANAPOLIS - The Utah ski team will field a full team of 12 skiers for the 2016 NCAA Ski Championships, as the NCAA men's and women's skiing committee announced the field on Tuesday.
Utah is one of eight schools fielding a full team of 12 skiers, joining Alaska Anchorage, Colorado, Dartmouth, Denver, Montana State, New Mexico and Vermont. A total of 74 men and 74 women will compete at the championships, representing 21 schools.
Utah's Nordic team has consistently been one of the top squads on the circuit for the season. The women will be represented by Veronika Mayerhofer, Sloan Storey and Natalia Müller. Mayerhofer, who is the defending NCAA champion in the 5-km freestyle, also finished second in the 15-km classic last year in a photo finish. She has two wins this season (both in the last two races) and nine podium finishes. The two-time All-American has never finished lower than fourth in her 22-race career. Storey is a five-time All-American for the Utes and is making her fourth appearance at the NCAA Championships. She has one win and four podium finishes to go with seven top-five finishes. Müller was an NCAA alternate last year. She has three top-five finishes and nine top-10 finishes this year.
In men's Nordic, Niklas Persson, Kevin Bolger and Nick Hendrickson will travel to NCAA's. Persson is a four-time All-American making his fourth appearance at NCAA's. He has six podium finishes this season and nine top-five finishes. Bolger, making his third NCAA appearance, has had his most consistent season to date, finishing in the top 10 in every race with five top-five finishes. Hendrickson, a former member of the U.S. Nordic Combined team (2009-14), makes his first NCAA appearance after serving as an alternate last season. He has one win and five podium finishes this year.
In alpine, the women's squad features Chloe Fausa, Julie Mohagen and Roni Remme. Fausa is a two-time All-American in the giant slalom. She has six career wins, including two victories this season. Mohagen, in her first season at Utah, has three wins and six podium finishes this year. Remme, also in her first year with the Utes, has two podium finishes and seven top 10's.
The men's alpine team returns two All-Americans in Endre Bjertness and Joergen Brath and will be joined by Dominic Demschar. Bjertness has two giant slalom wins this season and five top-five finishes. He earned All-America honors in the giant slalom last year. Brath, a 2014 All-American in the giant slalom, has six top-10 finishes this year. Demschar, who is making his first career NCAA appearance after serving as an alternate last year, has five top-10 finishes along with a podium finish this year.
The NCAA Championships will be held March 9-12 in Steamboat Springs, Colo. The alpine events will run at separate venues, with the men's and women's giant slaloms held March 9 at Mt. Werner, with the men's and women's slaloms conducted March 11 at Howelsen Hill. Nordic events will be held at Howelsen Hill.
