June 22, 2023 | Skiing
Duo The 11th & 12th Honors For Ski Team, 72nd & 73rd For CU
BOULDER—Sophomore Hanna Abrahamsson and graduate student Filip Forejtek were named Academic All-Americans Thursday by the College Sports Communicators.  Abrahamsson was named to the second team and Forejtek to the third in the At-Large classification, which includes a dozen sports. Â
It marks the first time that CU has placed multiple All-Americans on any team in the same season. Â They are the eighth and ninth skiers to earn an Academic All-America honor and it's the third straight season a CU skier has earned such an honor joining Joey Young in both 2021 and '22.Â
The duo were two of 10 Buffs honored on the Academic All-District team, which included eight skiers, , one women's golfer and a lacrosse player. Â Those 10 were automatically put on the ballot for All- America status.Â
Abrahamsson is a sophomore studying environmental engineering and finished the 2023 season as a two-time first-team All-American at the NCAA championships, finishing in the top five in both the classic and freestyle races. Â On the season she didn't finish lower than seventh in any race with nine top five finishes, seven podiums and one race win.Â
Forejtek is a graduate student earning a master's in data science at CU. Â He successfully defended his individual national championship in the giant slalom on 2023 and in all, had five top five with four podiums and two race wins. Â One of only a few to repeat as GS individual champion, he is a six-time All-American and two-time RMISA MVP.Â
The two are joined by Civanna Kuhlmann, who was named third-team Academic All-American in the fall for women's soccer, and those three bring CU's total number of Academic All-America honors to 73. Â
