Hey GE, getting way ahead of myself here, but.....
DU has won seven NCAA hockey titles, and that number doesn't even come close to the sport in which the Pioneers have won their greatest number of NCAA titles: skiing. In fact the Pioneers are the defending NCAA ski champs and last year's title was the school's twentieth [20th]. Nordic skiing is an important part of NCAA ski meets.
Skiing is the only NCAA sport in which co-ed squads compete for a title. That is to say men and women comprise the team which is crowned the NCAA ski champion. There aren't separate titles for men's and women's teams.
If your kid becomes proficient in his event you might keep DU in mind when it comes times to look at colleges. And let's face it, secretly you've always harbored a deep ambition to cheer for the Denvers. Your kid may be your only hope to do so.
