The men are out on the course and the live results are showing most of the skiers are 3/4 way through the race.
DU men finish 4th, 18th & 21st.
It doesn't appear that New Mexico or Cu made up much or any ground in the standings.
With Antje anchoring the women's team its hard to see anyone catching DU.
Would have been nice to see Boone taking a slalom run up there. :-)
We tried to get someone up there in the outfit, but I think Finals & Spring Break got in the way.
Disappointing to be sure.
After the first 1/3 of the Women's Freestyle Cross Country DU is 2nd, 6th & 8th.
After 2/3rds of the race CU is 1st, 3rd & 10th. DU is 2nd, 8th & 13th.
This seems to be the Worlds longest 15k race ever?
DU finishes 1, 7, 11 in women's XC
Looks like NCAA title #21
CU made it interesting 2nd, 3rd & 14th.
Antje Maempel won her 4th straight NCAA individual championship.
I just got a text from my friends who are up there right now...... they said CC Sucks!
It is official
DU NCAA CHAMPIONS
#21
Your friends are right.
DU wins - 785.5
CU 2nd - 714
UNM 3rd - 677
