Woelk, who finished third in the freestyle event on Friday, finished the 10-kilometer classic race in 33:10.5. Also finishing in MSU’s top three were Claire Rennie, 13th, 34:33.9, and Mandy Bowden, 15th, 34:44.9.
The trio of Woelk, Rennie and Bowden all qualified for the NCAA Championships to be held next month in New Hampshire.
Other MSU finishers in the women’s race included Karoline Teien, 22nd, 35:36.9, and Rachel Goldstein, 29th, 36:57.0.
On the men’s side, senior two-time NCAA qualifier Chris Coe placed 12th overall, covering the 15-kilometer race in 43:37.3. He was followed by Nathan Park, 23rd, 45:37.0; Daichi Ito, 26th, 46:14.1; and Sam Viavant, 27th, 46:20.7.
Heavy snow caused the cancellation of the giant slalom races.
The final team results were compiled with one less event.
Denver won the Western Regional with 426 points. The Pioneers were followed by Colorado 409, Utah 391, Alaska-Anchorage 321, Montana State 300, New Mexico 250, Nevada 248, Western State 197 and Whitman 191.
In all ten Bobcats qualified for the NCAA Championships- MSU’s largest contingent since the resurrection of the program in 1994.
Qualifying for Montana State were Woelk, Rennie, Bowden, Coe and Park in Nordic, and Spela Bertoncelj, Amy Lattimer, Carmel McElroy, Toby LaMar and Don Brockett in alpine.
The most a school could qualify is 12 athletes, and only Eastern Region champion Dartmouth, along with Colorado and Utah accomplished the feat.
MSU’s fifth place finish was the squad’s best showing since 1994, as well.
