Spencer McLachlin and Taylor Crabb Come up From Cali to Take Top Spot in AVPNext Event #2

Spencer McLachlin and Taylor Crabb are hungry for AVP Points to improve their position in upcoming pro tour qualifiers.  So when they saw that they could make a slight pit stop after watching their friends graduate from UW and pick up some points in the AVPNext Zone 3 Series, they took advantage of the opportunity.

McLachlin and Crabb also took advantage of the wounded and weary Zone 3 points leaders Chris Littleman and Roman Onischenko.  The Northwest duo, who were winners of the first Zone 3 event, could not overcome fatigue and injury from their tournament in Canada the day before and fell twice to McLachlin and Crabb through the course of the day.  The third place finish for Littleman and Onischenko was enough to keep them on the top of the Zone 3 standings, but left the door open for two other local teams to get within striking distance.

Cole Franklin  rode into the event on his Ducati and rode out with a second place finish for himself and partner Joe Duenn that moves them into a strong second place in the Zone 3 Standings.  Brian and David Miller also moved up the standings into third place after their third place finish.  Their weekend included a 25-20 single set win over Littleman and Onischenko and was capped off by a close loss to Duenn and Cole in the crossover.

Littleman and Onishchenko earned their victory in a very competitive double elimination bracket.  Their journey to the finals included two 15-13 three set wins over Cole Franklin and Joe Duenn.  In the finals they met up against Tom Kohler and Christian Honer who flew up from their summer training grounds in Southern California for the event.  The local duo showed why they are the best in the Region in their narrow 21-19, 22-20 defeat of the visiting team.
