Thanks for the articles. If I understand results of the men’s xc race this morning correctly, our Pios killed it, putting all three racers in the top ten, and one in third!!! The title is in reach, and the women just need to ski a solid race. We may have added to lead this morning. Go DU!!
After the men’s freestyle race. DU holds a 30 point lead over Utah and a 50 point lead over Colorado. Here is how DU finished:
3- Mortiz MADLENER
7-Dag Frode TROLLEBOE
11-Lars HANNAH
Women start at 10am mountain time.
