Buffs Win Montana State Invitational; Take Third In CU Meet
January 19, 2019 | Skiing
BOZEMAN, Mont.—Sophomore Hedda Baangman won the women's 15K classic race and three Buffs finished in the top five as the University of Colorado Ski Team surpassed New Mexico and held off a surging Utah team to win the Montana State Invitational here at Crosscut Mountain Saturday in the closest meet in three years on the collegiate skiing circuit.
After not finishing her race yesterday, Baangman turned on the jets in the women's race to win by 29.8 seconds. The race was not only critical for the Buffs to overtake New Mexico, which held a slim nine point lead over the Buffs entering the day, but it enabled the Buffs to hold off surging Utah. The Utes opened the day 25 points behind the Buffs but outscored the Buffs by 21 points to close the gap. The Utah women finished 2-6-7 in the women's race for a total of 89 points to the Buffs 1-4-5 finish for an even 100.
"It's always good to get a win," CU coach Richard Rokos said. "We talked about it last night and the Nordic team has been skiing consistently, especially the women's team, who had a really good race today. We are still working on our consistency as a team and we will continue to improve as the season progresses, but it's always good to get a win."
The Buffs four point win over Utah was the closest meet since the 2016 Montana State Invitational when Denver outpaced the Buffs, 629-625. In 2014, the RMISA Championships were decided by four points as the Utes edged out the Buffs, 640-636. The last time a meet was closer was back in 2008 when just 3.5 points separated Denver from the Buffs, 591-587.5, at the New Mexico Invitational.
Across the way at Bridger Bowl, the alpine teams were running a make-up men's slalom race needed to close out the CU Spencer James Nelson Memorial Invitational, most of which took place last week at Eldora and Steamboat Springs. Sophomore Joey Young finished fifth in what was essentially a bib race with tough snow conditions. The Buffs came into the day in third place and remained there for the official finish of the meet.
The MSU meet victory is the 73rd under Rokos, who has now coached the Buffs for 173 meets in his 29 seasons. Since the sport went coed in 1983, the Buffs have now won 62 regular season meets. Utah, which won the CU Invitational as it closed on Saturday, a well, is second with 60.5 regular season meet wins.
MSU INVITE TEAM: The Buffs entered the final day nine points behind New Mexico and 25 points ahead of Utah and after it all was said and done, the Buffs scored 587 points and won by just four points over Utah (583) and 18 points over New Mexico (569). It matches the closest point difference between first and second since 2008 and the 18 points separating first and third is the most since the 2017 NCAA Championships when Utah beat the Buffs by 16.5 points and Denver was one point back of the Buffs, 17.5 behind Utah. Denver finished fourth for the MSU meet with 502.5 points while Montana State (464) and Alaska Anchorage (458) round out the six full squads in the RMISA. Westminster's alpine team outscored Alaska Fairbanks Nordic team 205.5-199 and associate member Colorado Mountain rounded out the team scoring with 31 points in ninth place.
CU INVITE TEAM: Not much changed in the standings after the final race was put in for the Colorado Invitational. Utah took home the win with an impressive 663 points, beating Denver (548) by 115 points. The Buffs finished third with 515.5 points ahead of Montana State (501), Alaska Anchorage (478) and New Mexico (442.5). Westminster (211) outscored Alaska Fairbanks (200) for seventh place to round out the NCAA teams and associate members Wyoming (105) and Colorado Mountain (68) round out the team scoring.
NORDIC WOMEN: Baangman led for most of the women's 15K classic race edged out Utah's Guro Jordheim by 29.8 seconds, 52:21.9 to 52:51.7. Jordheim had won the other three women's Nordic races this season. Baangman was second to Jordheim by just 1.2 seconds in the 10K classic race at Steamboat last weekend. Junior Anne Siri Lervik had her best finish of the season in fourth place in a time of 53:10.3 and senior Christina Rolandsen was fifth in a time of 53:35.1. Those two headed up a group of five or six skiers that were chasing Baangman and Jordheim throughout the race. Freshman Ezra Smith finished 14th in a time of 56:28.5 and sophomore Quinn Lehmkuhl did not race.
NORDIC MEN: Freshman Erik Dengerud led the way for the men's Nordic team and his time of 1:02:55.6 was good enough for eighth place, just two spots ahead of senior Alvar Alev in 10th place in 1:03:56.7, just over a minute behind. The Buffs did place five in the top 16 with sophomore Sondre Bollum taking 13th in 1:05:36.2, freshman Wyatt Gebhardt taking 15th in 1:06:09.8 and junior Andrew Potyk finishing 16th in 1:06:10.7. Freshman Tyler Terranova rounded out the Buffs day in 32nd in a time of 1:11:48.1.
ALPINE MEN: Sophomore Joey Young continued the solid start to his season, earning yet another top five finish for the Buffs in a two-run time of 1:45.76. He had the fifth-fastest first run and held that position after having the 10th fastest second run at Bridger Bowl's Hanton's Hollow run. Senior Max Luukko finished 15th in a time of 1:47.09 and freshman Max Bervy scored for the Buffs for the second time in as many days after finishing 27th in a time of 1:53.73. Senior Bobby Moyer and freshman Teddy Takki both did not finish their second runs and freshman Filip Forejtek did not race.
WHAT IT MEANS: Getting a meet championship in the regular season is no small feat, and the fact the Buffs were able to rally past New Mexico and hold off Utah bodes well for the Buffs. Especially after the first week of racing at Eldora and Steamboat Springs, there are some really good signs coming out of Montana for the Buffaloes long-term aspirations of competing for championships by the end of the season. From Baangman getting her third career win and three women finishing in the top 5 on the Nordic side to Young winning his slalom race Friday and Christensen getting a podium, all the pieces are there for a solid run come March.
And while there is some work to be done, a little more consistency and healing on the alpine side and a few skiers who have proven results on the Nordic side pushing a few places better, the two weeks off comes at a perfect time for the Buffaloes. Saturday marks just nine days since the start of the 2019 season and the regular season is already half over. By the time the New Mexico Invitational gets underway in early February, it will be interesting to see how the Buffs perform with the extra time of training and getting settled into a normal class schedule and with a few extra weeks of rest and healing for those that are injured.
NORDIC NOTEWORTHY: Baangman won her third career race and it's the Buffs first Nordic win this season, and fourth overall with three alpine wins to date. She's three-for-three on the podium this season and has finished first and second in the two classic races so far. In 15 career races, she has three wins and seven total podium appearances, with all three wins coming in classic and five of the seven podiums. The Buffs having three in the top five on the women's side has certainly happened with regularity this decade, but aside from twice last year when the Buffs accomplished that feat, you have to go back to the 2013 season before it happened prior to that (it happened four times in 2013). Lervik got her first top five finish of 2019 and her 13th career top 5 in 28 career races, including her eighth top five in 12 career classic races. Rolandsen's top five is the 12th of her career in 36 races and sixth in 16 classic races. It's also her first of the season.
Dengerud got his second top 10 in four career races and now has one freestyle (CU Invite) and one classic (MSU Invite) top 10. Alev cracked the top 10 for the first time in 2019 and 11th time in 15 career races.
ALPINE NOTEWORTHY: Young's top five finish is the fourth of his career in 18 career races and 17 career finishes. He has finished every race this season and had five top 10s, two top 5s topped by his race win on Friday. He has three top five career finishes in eight career slalom races. Luukko is the only other alpine skier, man or woman, to have finished all six races on the season. He's been in the top 15 in five of those races and in the top 10 three times.
NORDIC QUOTEWORTHY:
Jana Weinberger: "The conditions were challenging, when we got there this morning, it was snowing. It was a typical Bozeman-like day. Over there years, every time we've been here it's been challenging to wax here. But we figured it out and had two good races."
"Hedda was leading from the start and had a really strong race, after her struggles yesterday. And Anne Siri and Christina were leading the chase pack behind Hedda and Guro (Jordheim) and both looked really strong. Ezra had another solid race, a top 15 is good for her as a freshman at this level. Quinn didn't race today."
"Eric had another good classic race and Alvar in the top 10 is good. The men's race was harder to figure out from a wax perspective and the weather was changing. But it was the same for all competitors. We're trying to figure out how to get a guy up in the top 5. The top three men's skiers are all in great shape, so I think we just need to work on our conditioning and shape the next few weeks. I'm looking for good training in the coming weeks, through the New Mexico meet. We're always focused to be in the best shape for Regionals and NCAAs."
ALPINE QUOTEWORTHY:
Richard Rokos: "The conditions today were pretty bad. It was soft snow and relatively warm. The guys are seeded by college points and Max (Bervy), Teddy and Bobby are a little bit back there. Today the original seed of the race determined the end result. There was no way with snow like this to move up. But no excuses, all-in-all the guys did well given the conditions."
"After all of our issues with immune systems with Stef (Fleckenstein) and Kaitlyn (Harsch), those are short term things. The good news is the broken bones are healing and Filip and Bella (Fidjeland) are close to being healed and can both be plugged into the system soon. The week off is coming at a good time, we'll get settled in the classroom, get on the hill and train slalom and get ready for New Mexico."
UP NEXT: The Buffs will now have a week off before heading to Red River, N.M. for the New Mexico Invitational, set for Feb. 1-2 at Red River Ski Area (alpine) and Enchanted Forest Cross Country Ski Area (Nordic). This is the first of two mid season breaks.
