The All-RMISA team is selected using the final NCAA Qualification list, with the top five for each gender and discipline earning first-team honors and the second five earning second team honors. CU's members on the second team were sophomore Anna-Maria Dietze and junior Ezra Smith for women's Nordic, freshman Oyvind Haugan for men's Nordic and junior Stef Fleckenstein for women's alpine.
Boee put together a fantastic season thus far, winning eight of 10 races and being the top seed in both disciplines out of the RMISA for the NCAA Championships, scheduled for March 10-13 in New Hampshire. Boee won both regional individual championships this past weekend at Soldier Hollow, the 19th CU skier to earn a regional sweep, and his eight wins matches the CU record for a men's Nordic skier at Colorado, as does his four wins each in classic and freestyle races. He also earned first-team honors last season.
Forejtek has also put an outstanding season together, finishing nine of 10 races to date with eight top five finishes (his other finish was sixth) with six podium appearances and one race victory, the first of his career. Forejtek will be in the top seed out of the RMISA for the NCAA Championships, meaning he will be in a random draw for both races to start in one of the first 10 positions, earning the No. 2 seed for slalom and No. 3 for giant slalom. Last season he finished second in the giant slalom race at the NCAA Championships by just two-hundredths of a second before the event was cancelled due to the pandemic. He also earned first-team honors last season.
Fleckenstein won the honor despite missing the first half of the regular season due to injury. She came back strong, and finished five of six races including the RMISA Championships, she was in the top seven in all five finishes with three fourth place finishes and one podium, a second place in the GS at the RMISA Championships. She earned first-team honors last season.
Dietze had a solid season that saw her get seven top 10 finishes in 10 races on the season to date with two top five finishes, coming in fourth and fifth in back-to-back freestyle races at the Denver and Colorado Invitationals. She also earned first-team honors last season.
Smith earned all-conference honors for the first time in her third season skiing for the Buffs, having her best season to date with six top 10 and one top five finish in 10 races so far. She broke through after finishing six three times for her first top five of the season taking fourth in the freestyle race at the RMISA Invitational at Soldier Hollow.
Haugan is CU's only freshman to earn all-conference honors, and he had a great season after missing the first two races of the season, he had seven top 10 and six top five finishes in eight races with one podium appearance, taking third in his first race, the freestyle race at the Denver Invitational. He took fourth in the freestyle race at the RMISA Championships and his only finish outside the top 10 was 11th place.
