The University of Utah wraps up its third straight national title as its skiers dominate the women's Nordic race Saturday at Soldier Hollow to close the deal.
That means Utah head coach Fredrik Landstedt has won a title basically every season since he came to the school four years ago. Still, even he was worried, given the nature of NCAA skiing. Each team gets just three Nordic and three Alpine skiers in the men’s and women’s races, and their points combine for the team score. So one misstep can turn a team’s championship dreams to slush.
That gave Utah a 27.5-point lead over Vermont heading into the final day. But there was one big question mark, one hiccup that, in addition to the usual concerns about racers getting sick or hurt, kept the Utes from celebrating prematurely. “They were definitely out for redemption today,” Havlick said. “They were a little frustrated after Thursday’s race. So, yeah, this morning they were fired up.”
“We kind of had a team plan to, like, take it out faster, try to share the work,” McCabe said. “But Sophia pretty much ended up doing all the work because I was just doing whatever I could to stay with her for a bit there. She just skied so well today.” Sydney Palmer-Leger of the University of Utah competes during the women’s 5K classic in the NCAA Skiing Championships held at the Soldier Hollow Nordic Center on Thursday, March 10, 2022 in Midway, Utah.
