CHEWELAH, Wash. –
Lucas Underkoffler won his second-straight Northwest Collegiate Ski Conference qualifier, helping the College of Idaho remain perfect on the season, claiming the team title at 49 Degrees North Ski Area.
After having their event postponed yesterday due to a storm, the Yotes placed four skiers in the Top-11 to record a two-run team time of 4:20.63 on the 44 gate course. C of I finished nine seconds ahead of Washington State and nearly 49 seconds clear of the University of Washington in the team race.
Underkoffler dominated the morning run by over one second – finishing the day with a combined time of 1:23.40 – ahead of British Columbia's Cameron Hale (1:24.69) and Idaho's Boomer Vuori (1:24.70).
