MSU remained in sixth place with 291 points, with two events remaining – the Nordic freestyle races. Utah leads the field with 520.5 points, followed by Denver 484, New Mexico 414.5, Colorado 327, Alaska-Anchorage 326, MSU, Westminster 183, Wyoming 14, and Colorado Mountain College 0.
Monsen, who was a NCAA qualifier last winter, totaled 23 points for MSU. He was followed by David Neuhauser, 16th, 1:53.87, and David Owsley, 2:00.75. Neuhauser's second-run clocking of 56.90 was the second fastest time of the second-go.
Denver's Trevor Philp won the men's title in 1:50.92.
The Bobcat women were paced by Emily Danza and Marissa Riopelle, who finished 17th and 21st overall. MSU failed to have a third racer score points as Kelly McBroom did not finish her first run, while Stephanie Irwin did not complete her second run.
The final Nordic races will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Following a quick turnaround, Montana State will host the second races of the season, beginning with the NCAA/RMISA giant slalom qualifier on Jan. 10. The annual MSU Invitational will be held Jan. 11-12 at Big Sky and Bohart Ranch.
Both alpine and Nordic squads are looking for race volunteers. For more information or to volunteer, call 406-994-2451 (alpine) or 406-994-4118 (Nordic).
