The week begins with the freestyle sprints for the UAA Invite on Feb. 7, followed by a 4x5-km mixed classical relay event on Feb. 8. The Seawolf Invite begins on Feb. 11 with the women's 5-km and men's 10-km classic, with the freestyle events on Feb. 12 with the women's 15-km and men's 20-km events.
The Utes are second overall in the Seawolf Invitational with 311 points behind Montana State (333 points) following the alpine portion of the meet. Utah is also second at the UAA Invite with 318 points, trailing Denver by a point (319).
Kevin Bolger has led the men's Nordic team in RMISA competition this season with podium finishes in all four races. Martin Bergström and Martin Mikkelsen each have a pair of top 10 finishes while Jacob Engström has three top 15 finishes. Oscar Ivars has one top 10 finish this year plus a top-15 run while Logan Diekmann has two finishes in the top 20.
