SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah ski team travels to the NCAA Championships this week, hosted by New Hampshire in Franconia and Jackson, from March 8-11.
Utah is one of seven schools fielding a full team of 12 skiers (three per gender per dicipline), joining Alaska Anchorage, Colorado, Dartmouth, Denver, New Mexico and Vermont. Of the 12 skiers representing Utah at NCAA's, two skiers are returning NCAA Champions - Endre Bjertness in the men's giant slalom and Julie Mohagen in the women's slalom - while seven skiers have previously earned All-America honors. Five skiers are making their first appearance at the championship.
The Utes won two of the five RMISA meets this season, the Seawolf Invitational and UAA Invitational. Utah won the RMISA regular-season championship after scoring the most points during the season. In addition, Utah's Nordic team competed in four EISA races this season, coming away with three victories.
Utah has finished among the top three teams at NCAA's five of the last six seasons. The Utes have placed third the last two seasons and put together a string of three-straight second-place finishes from 2011-13. The Utes have won 11 national titles (10 NCAA, 1 AIAW) in their history, and the 10 NCAA titles ranks third all-time behind Denver (23) and Colorado (19). Utah has 72 individual national champions, which also ranks third all-time.
The NCAA Championships will be held March 8-11. The alpine events will be run at Cannon Mountain with the Nordic events at the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation. The meet kicks off with the men's and women's giant slalom races beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 8.
