2003? Brad Hogan was the first CU men’s alpine skier since Toni Standteiner in 1991 to finish every race of the season and do it in top-10 fashion. The Colorado newcomer wasted little time making an immediate impact on the hill. In a sign of things to come, he began his collegiate career with a GS season-best runner-up finish at the 2003 opener at Montana State and had just one lower than fifth place in 12 races with a pair of slalom wins (at CU’s own Invitational and at Western State). He was the top American finisher in both the downhill (6th) and slalom (5th), and top CU alpine performer, at the World University Games in Tarvisio, Italy in January while turning in top-20 efforts in the super-G (11th) and giant slalom (18th). He christened the postseason with a third-place and sixth-place finish, second CU skier, in the West Regional, marking just the third time this season he wasn’t the Buffs’ top finisher in either discipline. His streak of top-10 finishes reached 11 with an second-team All-American ninth place effort in the GS before suffering some problems late in his second run that cost seconds, finished a disappointing 21st place finish in the slalom, the discipline he reigned in all season. He was an RMISA All-Conference selection following the season.
High School?Hogan was a five-sport athlete at Stratton in soccer (center midfield), skiing (alpine), basketball (forward) football (quarterback) and baseball. He was all-state in the last three and a prep All-American in baseball.
Other? As a member of the U.S. Ski Team from 1995-02, Hogan collected 27 FIS wins and seven junior world medals. In ’96 he won the Junior Olympics super-G title in Sugar Loaf, Maine. In ’97 and ’98 he took gold in the slalom and GS at JO’s in Sugar Loaf and Jackson Hole, Wyo., respectively and in ’97 he also finished seventh in the slalom at the Junior World Championships in Austria. In both 1996 and ’97 he was named the U.S. Junior Skier of the Year.
Academics? Hogan owns a better than 3.0 grade point average as a sociology major at Colorado.
Personal? Born Oct. 12, 1979 in Putman County, N.Y., Brad Kenneth Hogan is the oldest of Kenneth and Ellen Hogan’s three children. He has two younger sisters, Erika (a junior on the CU ski team) and Randi. His hobbies include electronics and all sports and fitness. He began skiing when he was 2-years-old in New York. He later had to make the decision between accepting a full ride to college on a baseball scholarship, or to pursue skiing. He chose the latter and the decision has paid dividends. A year later he was the youngest skier to make the U.S. National Team where he was a team member for seven seasons. He would like to take that experience and a degree from CU to the 2006 Olympics.
