Central Men's Games Qualifiers Are...

Scott Panchik can call himself the Central Regional Champion again. His first event win of the weekend came right when he needed it. He was the first off the bar, and first off the rig, but Will Moorad wasn't giving up his chance at a qualify spot without a fight. He sat 29 points out of 5th place, and seemed likely to have the greatest chance of taking the final qualifying spot from Sam Dancer. Unfortunately his 2nd place finish wasn't enough, he finished the weekend in 6th.

None of the top 5 women could afford to make the wrong move going into the final day. Brooke Wells took the event win with an impressive time of 10:36. She moved through the burpee box jumps, and then put her foot down in the overhead squats. Going into the day she was only one point away from Jennifer Smith’s 2nd place position, that being said, the event win (and Smith’s 18th place finish) moved her up. She sits in 1st overall.
