Tommy Named RMISA Women's Alpine Skier of the Year

DENVER—Mikaela Tommy was named the Women's Alpine Skier of the Year for the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association by a vote of its coaches, the league announced Tuesday.

Tommy, a senior from Wakefield, Quebec, finished her senior campaign with five race victories and nine podium appearances in the 10 races she finished on the season. She finished six of seven GS races on the season with five wins and one second place performance. In heartbreaking fashion, she didn't finish the GS race at the NCAA Championships, the first GS DNF of her career, a race she was favored to do well in, if not win.

Her five GS wins as a senior give her eight in her career. She is CU's women's alpine all-time leader in GS wins and has the top two single season marks. In two years, she moved into No. 2 for career wins in alpine, both GS and slalom. She won four consecutive GS races as in 2020 and three in 2019, the two best marks in CU history.

She was named the Women's Alpine MVP based on the regular season NCAA Qualification point totals. She was the top GS qualifier out of the RMISA for the NCAA Championships and No. 5 on the slalom list and the No. 2 overall seed. She was also the start list points leader for GS and fifth for slalom in the 2020 season.

She matched the CU record set by Lucie Zikova by winning eight runs during the season, as she took six GS runs and two slalom runs during the season. Along with teammate Stef Fleckenstein, the two became the third and fourth skiers and the fourth and fifth instances of women's alpine skiers winning multiple runs in both disciplines in a season.
