DILLON, Colo. – Sophomore Iver Naess led the way for the Wolf Pack on day one of the Denver Invitational, securing a 12^th place finish in the men's slalom Saturday.
 
Naess's first run (45.79) put him in a solid spot, finishing in 19^th. His second run (47.52) allowed him to move up, posting the sixth fastest time in the field, ultimately moving up in the ranks and securing the 12^th place spot, just outside the top 10. This season Naess has earned three top-10 finishes, two of those on the podium during the Western Region Elite in January.
 
Georgie Sullivan paved the way for the women's slalom, earning 41^st with an overall time of 1:36.94 with teammate Tiia Nurminen crossing the finish line right behind her in 42^nd with a time of 1:37.05. Elle Murphy finished 50^th (1:44.42).
