Lamb is entering his senior year and third at Colorado after spending his freshman season as part of the Utah ski team and he will captain this year’s alpine team. Combining his freshman season SEASON BY SEASON RESULTSat Utah and two seasons at Colorado, he has 42 RMISA races under his belt and has finished 37 of them with 2012 (Junior)— 2010 at Utah GS SL 27 top 20 performances and 11 top 10. He has two podium appearances, one each at Utah and Colorado. At Colorado, he has 28 races and has finished 25 with 19 top 20 and nine top 10.

Lamb participated in all 14 races for the Buffs and finished 12 of those races. Utah Invitational 30 29 He really broke out in slalom action, becoming one of the top slalom threats in the nation. In RMISA Qualifiers 21 7 seven races, he finished five and had one podium appearance and also had finishes of fifth, Montana State Invitational 3 DQ sixth and seventh. He was controversially disqualified from a slalom race at the Seawolf New Mexico Invitational 11 13 Invitational after having apparently won the race. He finished third in the RMISA qualifier Nevada2011 Invitational GS15 33SL race in Montana ahead of the RMISA Championships, fifth at the Alaska Anchorage RMISA Championships 14DNF Invitational, sixth at the University of Colorado Spencer Nelson Memorial Invitational and NCAA Championships 13 16 seventh at the Denver Invitational. In giant slalom action, he saved his best for last with his top two performances in the post season, starting with a 12th place finish at the RMISA Utah Invitational DNF 24 Championships followed by a 13th place nod at the NCAA Championships. He earned second- RMISA Qualifiers 6 18 team2011 All-RMISA (Sophomore)— honors and was the No. 9 qualifier for NCAA Championships, including No. 6 Montana State Invitational 5 15 on the slalom list. New Mexico Invitational 7 27 2012Denver Invitational GS22 13SL RMISA Championships 24 5 Lamb skied in all 14 races for the Buffaloes in 2011, his first season on NCAA Championships 12 10 the squad, one of only two alpine athletes, men or women, to accomplish that feat.

He had a bit of a Seawolf Invitational — DQ flip-flop season in which RMISA Championships D2 12 he excelled in giant NCAA Championships 13 28 slalom races at the start of the season and turned on the jets in slalom action down the stretch to earn a solid qualification number for NCAA Championships. There, he brought home one second-team All-America honor with his 10th place finish in the slalom race and just missed out with a 12th place GS finish, helping the Buffaloes to the NCAA Championship as a team. He opened the season on what had been his home mountain at the Utah Invitational and perhaps was a bit nervous as he didn’t finish the GS race and took home 18th in the slalom. He then rattled off consecutive top six finishes in the GS races at Montana State. By the time the New Mexico meet came around, he had switched his focus to high slalom finishes and took seventh in one of the slalom races there and that momentum carried the rest of the season. He had his career best slalom finish at the RMISA Championships, again on what was his home hill at Park City, a fifth place finish that helped secure the Buffs a league championship and himself a solid qualification for NCAA 22 Championships. 2013 colorado buffaloes

64 CU IN THE NCAA’s

The NCAA first sponsored a men’s national championship in skiing in 1954, though national title meets (National Intercollegiate Championships) were held as early as 1946, the same year CU’s program began. Women’s programs came into being in the late 1970s, with then CU head coach and eventual AD Bill Marolt at the forefront of making it a reality. CU has competed in each of the last 41 NCAA Championships and in 52 of 55 overall. One of those three occasions where CU didn’t qualify (1964), several team members had competed in the Winter Olympics, and in 1967, CU sent only a few skiers to Maine for financial reasons. The old AIAW sponsored women’s titles between 1977-82; in 1983, the NCAA absorbed the AIAW but combined the men’s and women’s competition, as was the case in rifle and . Here’s an in-depth look at the NCAA Championship history of the Buffaloes.

68 NCAA SCORING FORMAT

The current scoring format was adopted for the 2007 National Championship where every skier counts toward the team score. In 1997, the NCAA, citing expenses, reduced the number of skiers in the field from over 50 to just 39 in each discipline. At that time, the most qualifiers from a single team was reduced from 16 to 12. From 1997-2006, teams with a full 12-skier team would have to throw out its lowest three scores and teams with 11 skiers had to drop one score. It is mathematically possible for a team with 10 or 11 skiers to win the team cham- pionship and it has in fact happened twice, with Colorado in 2006 and Denver in 2008. A day-by-day look at the NCAA Championships under the current scoring format: _____Year ______Day One Margin ______Day Two Margin ______Day Three Margin ______Final Margin 123 1997 Vermont 23 Vermont 7½ Utah 7 Utah 39½ 231 (2.

The Buddy Werner Memorial Scholarship Award The one name synonymous with competitive skiing in America is Buddy Werner, the gritty competitor from Steamboat Springs, Colo. Werner was America’s first international skiing star who began his career at the University of Colorado in 1959. In 1961, he won the NCAA slalom and placed second in the downhill. Two years later, he reversed the order by claiming the downhill title and taking second in the slalom. Werner was a three- time all-American while at CU, was elected to the Skiing Hall of Fame and the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. He was killed in an avalanche in St. Moritz, Switzerland, April 12, 1964. Werner established a standard for American skiers which still stands as an inspiration today. Because of the example Werner set for young athletes, a scholarship commemorating Buddy was established in 1973 to benefit a deserving team member.

Reid Pletcher The Laura Sharpe Flood Award Each year the University of Colorado skier who best exemplifies the spirit, enthusiasm and dedication, both on the mountain and in the classroom, of Laura Flood will receive the Laura Sharpe Flood Award. Flood tragically lost her life April 3, 1989, after losing control on an early morning training run at Eldora Ski Resort. In her lone NCAA Championship appearance in 1988, Flood finished 12th in the giant slalom and 20th in the slalom. Former coach Tim LaVallee said, “She was a good skier, perhaps not a great one, but her biggest asset was her dedication and commitment.” 1991 Andreja Rojs 1998 Aimee-Noel Hartley 2006 Nick Sterling 1992 Mike Quas 1999 Ryan Webb 2007 Rachel Roosevelt 1993 Mike Trueblood 2000 Casey Ward 2008 Josh Smith 1994 Bryan Sax 2001 Maria Wik 2009 Matt Gelso 1995 Tiit Pekk 2002 Muriele Huberli Josh Smith 1996 Jessica Ochs 2003 Michael Read 2010 Reid Pletcher Geoff Buchheister 2004 Erling Christiansen 2011 Katie Hartman 1997 Greg Buchheister 2005 Rachel Roosevelt 2012 Katie Hartman Rachel Roosevelt

75 Colorado All-Americans

The list of Colorado’s all-time All-America skiers; is sketchy prior to 1969, but coaches generally selected the teams themselves either at the NCAA Championships or shortly after the season was completed. One team, consisting of eight members, was selected until the mid-1960s, when both a first and second team was selected. When the NCAA merged FIRSTmen’s skiingTEAM-ALL-AMERICANS with the AIAW women’s programs into one combined, coed sport in 1983, the formula became the first through fifth finishers earned first-team honors with the sixth through 10th performers earning second-team honors. 1957 Frank Brown (A,XC) Those1958 Frank members Brown (A,XC) of winning relay teams also earned first-team recognition.
