Spartan National Series 2021 Elite Men Coverage | West Virginia Beast

we're here in foggy west virginia for race four of the spartan u.s national series presented by usana after the torrid pace of the six mile super course in asheville we bring on the second beast race of the season a 13 mile course with 4 000 feet of elevation gain from the trails of summit bechtel reserve after a disappointing finish in asheville ryan atkins looks to bounce back on this more favorable course but exterior champion josiah middau who made the race in jacksonville looks to take over the top podium spot and don't forget about ryan woods he won the north american championships on this course in 2019. now let's take you to the action spartans what [Applause] [Music] and the races are off and right out of the gates you know a couple guys like to bring this thing out hot uh face that is returned to the crowd aaron newell right there in the front rocking that mullet as they go over the hay bales these runners are gonna enter a slight uphill it's going to climb and then bank to the right and then the party really starts with a nice long climb and aaron newell is out to the front early you can see mark cadet brian gawiski ryan and ryan atkins and logan broadbent up there in the front broadband has been a really nice surprise for the season third place in jacksonville really strong finish in asheville and a very strong finish in throughout the year he's just been really competitive and here mark battres has moved to the front battras is fresh off of a trifecta victory in hawaii followed by logan broadbent look how smooth is he runs with power and almost aggression the rest of the guys seem to be working together coasting a little bit more saving energy and mattress makes those over walls look easy as you can see atkins hosek veerman kempson gadet all together given chase but none of them seem to be throwing down the aggressive style pace that you've seen out of mark battress right now he's running with a lot of confidence after that third place finish in asheville and he's really finally figuring this sport out [Music] and the guys were talking to each other so not only up there is mark battras but logan broadbent also somewhere in between that chase group and battras himself and ryan woods looks to have joined the party as well and that's josiah midow right behind him midau being that exterior racing champion and ryan woods obviously as we mentioned before wanted this course in 2019 when it was the north american championships [Music] ryan atkins as always in no rush to start fast using a pace that's comfortable for him feeling out the field he loves to make a hard push in the second half of the race and as we enter the first major failable obstacle of the day it's the monkey bars these are covered in due and yes that is logan broadbent the ninja warrior and world boomerang champion up there in second place it gets risky over here these are sketchy they're really slick and you can see josiah midhouse we've got mark bradshaw's trying to make a statement going out super fast aaron yul and logan broadbent in second and third wow what a start they're absolutely flying through monkey bars long way to go guys well that spread things out a little bit didn't it there's brian gawisky chasing mark gaudette right there and then ryan woods so they are all in the thick of things with kempson atkins and veerman a bunch of ryan's all in a cluster there's a little descent here a little flat open space and then all of a sudden a nice climb that's going to spread things out even more as these guys are going to head into a little bit of woods after this field that opens up here you can see that mile one marker right there and look at the gap way out in the distance already on that hill mark battres and logan broadband the versatility of broadband as an athlete being a smaller stature guy but being so quick and so good on the obstacles it's very impressive looks like aaron newell is starting to pay for that hot start a little bit first race back of the year is usually pretty tough and he went out quick with some of these really tough stud racers and now he's gonna have to hang on for another 12 miles [Music] all right guys we're just waiting for the runners to come through uh they've got the box and stairway just up there uh they've got a really good climb uh up to those obstacles and then they're going to be flying down these woods we're going to see who comes out uh on top we saw mark bash just go off early see if he can hold that lead but again we're only a couple of miles into the course we've got olympus coming up here and we've got log carry uh a lot going on in the first half of this course i can't wait all right mark battras first logan broadbent second right now logan is so efficient when you look at that form it's it's just incredibly impressive how smooth he is and you see battras in front of him was working really pumping hard he went out hot in this race a couple years ago as well but he wasn't able to maintain it he had the lead for about half still mark bashas it's got a bit of a good lead i swear mark and this is bender up here and right after bender they're gonna go into the woods pop out and then we get into uh the log carry and the log carry that could be a big separator here the log carry is not just a heavy log but we're also going through the water for that so these guys know some of these carries are coming and right now it's about just conserving energy being efficient but also not losing contact with the leaders ryan clemson fourth fifth that's tyler veerman ahead of kempson right there and biermann made his debut in utah with a fifth place finish he's extremely fit right now won the ultra in ohio and he is a major podium threat today got my bachelor's logan ball ben ryan atkins ryan kempston tyler bearman [Music] [Music] [Music] well we're about two and a half miles into the course right now and the athletes are hitting the log carries so they're going to run in grab one of these guys throw it over the shoulder and take off on this course into the water there is a deep nasty walk through some wet sloppy stuff deep water it's going to challenge the footing a little bit and of course the log is designed to wear out your back wear at your shoulder a little bit test the grit some of the stronger guys they're going to get some big gaps here so batteries had the lead here in this race last time we raced this venue at this point but he didn't sustain it let's see if this year is going to be different he had a great finish in asheville taking third place and he's just coming off winning three consecutive races in hawaii at the trifecta weekend logan broadbent here in second position this is a great place for him to be with ryan atkins right behind him grabbing a log and going into the slop and looking comfortable as always ryan atkins needing to win here today to keep his chance alive of winning this whole series ryan kempson right behind him in a strong position and then tyler giermann sitting in fifth [Applause] okay we got a major pass here this is logan broadbent working the edge savvy vet move as battras was working through the deeper water and makes that nice pass for all sorts of madness going on in this truck tricky log carry vlog has just taken allegiance here followed by mark batches and ryan atkins look at broadbent stretching out that lead really opening up on the run with that log he's one of the smallest competitors in the field but also somehow one of the strongest when it comes to the carries and look at that you got logan broadbent moving in the log carry into first place followed by ryan atkins this is an unexpected move out of a man of such small stature but so much strength he's an incredible athlete and ninja warrior ryan atkins is now in second taking off running looking smooth and mark mattress in third followed closely by ryan kempson this one's going to be a tight one we have some really intense battles for podium spots and right now it's still anybody's game but i don't think anyone expected to see logan broadbent out in first place especially moving up into first during the carry itself now ryan atkins is in second place he made that nice pass in the log carry as well looking good and battras has given chase but for batters can he hold on because we've seen this happen to him on this course before to fall off that lead but can he put it all together again like he did in asheville and hold tight to those leaders ryan kempson in fourth looking very good hasn't gotten the best training he said over the last couple months but so talented always able to be in the mix these rolling sections right here they do take the legs a little bit you're able to go fast but all these little kicker hills they do take a toll on the body and you can see that batteries is starting to pull broadband back and atkins has moved into the lead a very competitive back and forth race so far so you've got a three-man lead group and a chase group made up of ryan kempson uh not on screen mark gaudette tyler veerman and a couple other guys that are going to try and make that push to reconnect with this lead group and this is the pipe layer and right after the pipe layer is twister so this is one of those rhythm breaking obstacles it's not designed to be a failable obstacle i guess it could be but really it's about breaking running rhythm they actually catch their breath here but coming out of it it's about getting right back up to speed that's kempson through fifth place right now that's tyler veerman and this is the twister now it's very wet and slick you can see that atkins very confident in his grip is skipping rungs while battras is hitting every single one of them and atkins made up a few seconds right there [Music] the backwards technique out of kempson very smooth and then in fifth tyler veerman followed closely by mark cadet and then in seventh ryan woods and we know that woods is going to be a threat in the second half of this race lots of continued shuffling throughout this course amongst the leaders all top seven are through safely at a twister so and we're over all the way back close to the start line at beater now again the do at least a major factor here they have to be a little bit cautious but use your momentum don't let it stop on this obstacle that is one of the keys logan is making it look easy he's had quite the season this year when you talk about really a breakout star in the sport logan broadbent is up there with everybody in terms of turning himself into one of the upper echelon racers of this sport now after this descent there is a big climb this is nasty it's wet it's muddy and it's longer than it looks as veerman sitting there in fifth position followed by mark cadet in the black and ryan woods just crossed into creek tyler veerman here starting to eat up a little bit of that ground on the uphill so good on the climbs runs between 50 and 60 miles a week in ju in the mountains just climbing and descending very very good at it woods also a great climber was on team usa mountain running for a little while lives in boone north carolina amongst the mountains a big advantage over guys like cadet up there who lives in alexandria virginia for the last few years and has to make do with what little hills he can find but he'll have a huge advantage soon because he is moving to colorado springs so look for him to emerge in the coming year as a major threat on the mountain forces and this is where things get a little tricky the z-wall batteries is through clean broad bent as well and a big dive from kempson keeping himself in this race all right guys the bridge of the abyss rhinoceros logan broadbent it's still very close in this race we're all within 30 seconds to a minute um apart it's very interesting to see it's really really hot and humid out here guys i am sweating soaking wet so it's going to be an issue i think a little bit later on and of course when of course gets a bit tougher obstacles get a bit harder and then we got mr ryan atkins taking control of the race mark bashas is still right there will not rule him out just yet go brian you can see the camaraderie of these athletes brian the whiskey came by and ryan adkins wanted to make sure he gave him a little love yeah mom bachelors coming in good job gentlemen it's our pretty neck and neck great work now these sandbags that they just picked up are normally about 60 pounds problem is that they are waterlogged soaked super heavy and they've got a nice little downhill and then a flat section towards the bottom of this carry and then a big uphill awesome here they go guys let's go keep it going all right we've got markers there ryan woodsy still within reach fantastic strong man woodsy great work woods let's get it mark ryan atkins and mark battres the first two out of the sandbag carry so i came to the mark bashers coming out the woods first campsite in third now it's gonna be a bit quick and then it starts getting nice and tricky from about mile six we're gonna see who the standings are just now fourth place um tyler logan bourbon fest six is my cadet and seven here's mr woodsy himself so we saw broadbent enter the woods in third and leave in fifth that was a tough tough break for him he was straight on the log carry but these heavy carries do take a toll and they all hit a little bit different that uphill made things a bit tougher he looks a little knackered but he's got a lot left in him i know that for sure yeah ryan [Music] a little bit of tough climbing up here and you can see the versatility of ryan atkins both good as a runner and as a power hiker and switching those techniques back and forth enables him to just remain efficient save some energy save his calves a little bit when you're running every step of it like mattresses you're really taxing the cavs a lot and with this heat and humidity that they're facing today these athletes really need to avoid cramping all this trail work all those stabilizer muscles are firing on overdrive on this course and that can lead to that cramped city that we just need to avoid but atkins is starting to stretch away a little bit all these guys yeah afghans having a little fun said all those guys look like spearmen so we've got a battle here guys we've got ryan atkins and we've got mark fascist right here coming into armor approaching mile six [Music] bringing it back where you found it so the next spartan can find it there as well ryan atkins making short work of that but mark's still in there we've got a tricky section coming up and then we've got a battle for third place coming in here all right boys we're at armor where you're taking a black ball to the opposite flag and bringing it right back where you found it to the next burst can find it there as well so that was tyler veerman with kempson competing for third position but right behind him is ryan woods who's moved up into fifth and is closing hard and now we get to the technical slop of this trail a little bit you're going to have some of this picking through the rocks and the roots and this riverbed stuff that ryan atkins is just excellent at things that mark battres being more of a from a road marathon background it's not as natural to him he's had to learn those skills over the years atkins has just been living in this for quite a while and there's a pass from woods he's now moved up into fourth place chasing veerman now for third the deck just keeps on shuffling up there at the front of the pack we got mr ryan atkins in first place solidifying his lead through this kind of jungle mucky section pretty awesome and then we've got cardboasters in second place it's quite a difference between second and third place right now we'll see who's coming out we have ryan woodsy in third place making his move finding his time tyler fourth kempson fifth so one thing that's important to notice is atkins is cranking through those technical sections has to work really hard on the flats to catch up so he's expending a ton of extra energy on the sections where they can open up and atkins is able to use those areas to recover a little bit more because he's so strong in the technical running and so strong on the heavy carries and then just keep throwing heavy carries it's another sandbag at some point is this toll gonna just be too much for batters is he just gonna have to pay the price a little bit too high on these runs or can maybe he can sustain it right now atkins looks very comfortable very smooth we've got a about 20 second gap between first and third woodsy has just made his way up into third place here he is [Applause] followed very closely by the beast that is tyler here we go captain's still holding on [Music] so a pretty monster stand by carry some video pretty steep hills in here but uh we'll see ryan atkins coming down right now again more technical terrain all right here we go this has definitely made a difference ryan atkins absolutely crushed that now you got woodsy making himself into second place my back is third [Applause] retired four here we go that technical terrain really showing who is skilled in this type of running because biermann just made a pass on batteries as well and woods is now sitting in second position woods has just methodically worked his way up through this race from seventh the when we first started seeing him all the way to second but ryan atkins is in a league of his own when it comes to this technical trail running and off trailing lots of clambering over i think i still got one down my shirt okay look at that pass out of tyler biermann it's daylight now in second place tyler veerman followed by woods and they're going to push each other to try and gap this field and this is steep and nasty stuff right here ryan woods just climbing grinding back out in front of biermann again the competition between them is going to be fierce for the rest of this race both such good climbers both such good flat ground runners well ryan atkins right here is looking to bury this field he wants to separate so he has his foot on the gas right now through these rolling hills i'm running with ryan atkins just here he has definitely solidified his lead we're coming up to a real steep hill here we go so ryan's starting the hill it's definitely not really runnable it's a very hikeable hill let's see what kind of gap he's got he reckons about 120 gap we'll see he definitely made that move on the sandbag woodsy's picking up pace for sure and we'll see who's in third i know i got stung i've got stag week time i'm aware thank you okay i'm not sure what's happening tomorrow butchers but uh tyler berman has got himself into third place with a fantastic shot of the podium there's one two and three out there on the hill mall badger still hanging in there he went off very fast at the start can he have a strong second period all right that's your top four up there guys fifth and sixth don't roll logan out just yet kempster's having a great race we've got mark cadet as well who we know can have a strong finish i think it's going to be key for this race it's where the heat is going to really kick in they're going to go up into the sun just now and drop all the way through a really technical terrain in the woods and we're going to pick them up at irish tables i've got ryan atkins coming down to irish tables just here swim swim brian atkins has just passed me i'm at mile nine got iris tables in the swim just down there which i think ryan's pretty happy about uh he has definitely solidified his lead we're gonna see what the gap is like uh right now um he may have really destroyed that uphill uh definitely definitely uh extending his lead here's woodsy having a great second half of the race i'm coming all the way down to irish tables and we'll see what sort of swimmer he's going to be good job good job by the looks woods he's got a little gap on thailand as well woods is starting to solidify that second place position you saw him take a little nutrition right there before that's key as he makes this final push through the last four or so miles of this course and they are approaching the swim because the swim is gonna be here in mile nine and here it comes ryan atkins is here in first place as he enters the swim we're about nine nine and a half miles into this course he's got to zip up this life jacket before he can enter the water so everyone's got the same disadvantage there it's not like he's wasting any extra time but a full zip and then he's good to go this is a pretty solid lead for atkins right now he's looking at about at least 30 seconds so far and we don't see anyone else yet so atkins is in a very solid position about a minute behind atkins is ryan woods he won on this course in 2019 and he broke away and crushed the field now he's got his work cut out for him because atkins is a tough guy to run down but if anybody can do it on this course it's ryan woods and in third place right now it looks like tyler veerman has worked his way all the way up into a podium spot you see atkins right there very smooth as a swimmer the life jacket is going to help keep you smooth and flat to the water and all you got to do is work those arms and work your legs a little bit ryan woods behind him doing more of a doggy paddle i would say and then tyler veerman looking very good but it's a 200 or so meter swim as logan broadbent now has arrived in fourth place and mark mattress still hanging on in fifth just seconds behind him as well we have a tight-knit battle with a swim the whole race gets shaken up [Applause] mark godette is arriving as well mark is in sixth place in seventh place ryan kempson arriving at the swim no good now you have logan broadbent off course he's turned and swum the wrong direction for about 30 seconds and now he's got to reroute and get back around that yellow buoy and that's sportsmanship out of mark batres because he's the one right behind him who was chasing mark batters is the one who actually saved logan broadbent from completely veering off course so you know competitors but also friends out there a recap on your top positions right now ryan atkins sits in first place ryan woods is still in second but it's only seconds up on tyler veerman who's in third fourth place you had a pass it's now mark batres because logan broadbent swam off course he's in fifth and then in sixth position mark gaudette ryan atkins atkins is already exiting the swim and that gap that he has put on is significant he's now looking to be about 30 or 40 seconds up on the next racer if not more so but the most important thing about it is it doesn't look like he's wasted any energy he's stayed within himself throughout this swim he's gonna be ready to fly hey tyler veerman who's moved all the way up into second position ryan woods sitting in third still right there with biermann but he's lost a lot of time on this swim that was refreshing there's your second place runner right now tyler veerman looking very comfortable and ryan woods not far behind him with a little bit of work to do but now it's time to run fast atkins has had a pretty long hike here and maybe he's having a little bit of trouble with cramping some adducts or stuff that tends to happen after a swim but he's finally back and moving ah my arms are jello not a swimmer i'm not a fish now these runners have to go find their rhythm again some of them feel a little bit like a drowned rat right now after coming out of such a long swim but get back up to speed because the hoist is coming up next and this one is super heavy today the bags are very waterlogged and you're going to see it kind of pull these guys right off the ground look at atkins they're planting both feet on that gate having to really leverage that weight back it could literally lift him off the ground but that's a very good quick strong pull out of atkins he's not going to fail an obstacle like this but certainly someone might and now he's got some big climbing ahead of him this is one of the biggest climbs in the course coming up a little shoe tie so this climb has a couple sections in it there's a steep start it flattens out kicks up again flattens out a second time and then one big kicker at the finish three segments of climbing on one hill well here we are hercules the swim made a major dent tyler vermin has moved back into second having a great race yeah him and ryan woodsy have got extremely wet bags ryan atkins has already gone with his trying to find the right one boomers gonna get there oh you got it that's it no keep going hold up all right down easy super heavy bags today we'll see he's gonna get it it's gonna avoid those burpees it's got a really push and coming up into fourth place here's standard the swim which has messed everything up it's amazing my cadet fourth place woodsy stages burpees it's called rain and up it goes up the hill atkins continues to climb in that lead but you saw that mark cadet moved from sixth to fourth on that swim this is a great showing more batteries so we're all vying for third place right here mark's halfway up with his bag logan still trying to figure out what one is best and what batteries is uh using his strength there you go yeah they're heavy first of the monks get it the swim has zaps people's arms the bags are heavy and it's just causing all sorts of problems here today logan's chosen for burpees mark and kempson are in and this is the first time in a long time that we've seen so much carnage over at the herquist multiple guys doing burpees guys taking forever to get this obstacle done but kempson pulled it off stretched the good back ryan good job so logan's finished his burpees ryan got it well done mark's doing his puppies oh boy it's gonna be absolute chaos in the last three miles of this race atkins has managed to crest the last big climb of this course but there's a lot left in front of him including after this big descent a bucket carry amongst other things a rope traverse and then the deadly tire that tire flip that can totally blow this race open again we've seen it happen in 2018 at this venue and in 2019 lucy goosey this is a massive descent steep at first and then he'll hit road and continue to descend over an inverted wall and then the bucket uh [Music] and just look at those breathtaking views from summit bechtel reserve it is gorgeous that the fog has lifted and this is a fun surprise right here check out this bucket carrie what this looks like as atkins is off and running does that look like a familiar little sign right there a spartan helmet that means multiple climbs multiple descents on this carry as veerman has just continued to fight with ryan woods the two of them just duking it out oh wow we have a fantastic battle for second and third right here we've got a woodsy we've got tyler biermann we're approaching the uh frozen the bucket carry that ryan atkins was already on as you can see atkins is over there first place woodsy fearman flying for that second spot unbelievable [Applause] i can't just finish their wonderful spartan head in a good first place [Applause] old man woodsy starting to do a little bit of damage here on that carry he's surprisingly strong on this every time we get to it and as he dumps this bucket he'll be happy to hear that he has uh laid the woods on the bucket carry and he's extended a nice little gap over tyler biermann and i'm standing here in the middle of quite a gauntlet of obstacles because to my right you can see the bucket carry which you have mark cadet still on right now followed by logan broadbent sitting in fifth place just taking off out of it tyler veerman and ryan woods vying for that second place podium spot now they're gonna have a nice running segment then they'll eventually hit the traverse the rope traverse over there come back and hit the rope climb then knock out helix before heading into the really nasty part which is that tire flip off in the distance so we are in the middle of it all and the battle is raging now this is the rope traverse known as the tyrolean traversal athletes can go above or below on this rhinoceros quite a bit of head on the tyre traverse and then uh can't wait for this battle to unfold see through the woods who's got a stronger woodsy or vehement we'll see they're going to be coming down this hill any minute moment we've got ryan atkins on this uh beautiful section here coming back into rope climb quite an exciting finish to come first out of the woods is woodsy himself um it's gonna be a really really uh fast finish but there's a lot of obstacles uh to come but he has really put a bit of a gap it's those last couple pulls that are the toughest but ryan woods makes quick work of it and baman is right there as atkins is now at the rope climb he'll then head into helix and then the tire flint the one thing that could shake this race up just making helix look easy we know woods cannot take his foot off the gas right now as he finishes that rope climb because veerman is not far behind lurking and this tire has cost woods at this venue before stop killing it you're killing it all right we've got ryan woodsy in second place ryan atkins is already on the tyre flip [Music] he's put a bit of a gap on veerman who is in third place on the rope plan let's go that is a solid flip out of ryan atkins very little stands between him and the win now the spear will be the big thing if he can nail that spear he's going to be in a really good spot it'll be hard for anybody to catch up to him but the spear always lurks and the spear is always dangerous but can woodsy pull off this flip notice the pinch grip now he's able to get under it and walk that thing forward he and atkins both working that thing to the side picking their spot so the tire doesn't land in a spot it had been flipped to before can he get number two the second flip is always harder the tire sinks into the ground if it's wet earth like it is today and now you got to be able to get your fingers deep under the tire not just the tips of your fingers but you need a really deep grip because of how slick and wet the tire is all right exciting things going on in uh second and third place which is still struggling to get the second flip of the tire and here comes tyler so what's his worst nightmare come on woods can you do it he's got under it he's got to walk through it as veerman gets his first flip it looks like woods has pulled it off ryan was using everything he's got so we got second third and fourth place here's more margaret comes into play ron woods is going through the rolling mud we're in that same thing the second flip being so hard for veerman who opts to just take the burpees off bumpies and now mark cadet with an opportunity to make a pass and move into third place can he do it get out as a chance checking now his third tire if you can just dry his hands and make this work for him but the grip it's so slippy now on a fourth tire such a significant moment an opportunity for him he's got under this one veerman methodically doing those burpees in the back but not fast and mark has finally opted for the burpees michael also chooses uh for burpees this is gonna be a little burpee battle we've got a local logan broadband coming in here as well and uh i'm gonna go catch up with woodsy who's just about to go through the dunk wall uh but you've got a second third and fourth and fifth logan ball bank coming in here now watch out for logan broadbent because as we saw in jacksonville he does burpees faster than anyone so if he does not opt for the tire flip and goes for the burpees great opportunity for him atkins now at the spear with a miss and this has opened the door for ryan woods to potentially pull him back in ryan's gonna have to crank these out and he's flying on these first few [Music] [Applause] woods has got to put this charge on now but the thing is he does not know that atkins is doing burpees right now as he approaches the spear throw himself [Music] that was a great pace out of ryan atkins and he still holds that lead now with just a vertical cargo net and the multi-rig now the multi-rig is sketchy here today it's not a gimme all right come on baby woods needs this throw he'll lock up that second place if he can do it sticks her right down the middle [Applause] and now ryan atkins is closing in on that victory he came here today with the goal of winning this race with the goal of putting himself in position to win this series he'll be in a virtual tie with vijay jones if he can get through this last obstacle putting himself in position to win the series outright in big bear well ryan atkins missed the spear did his 30 burpees and he's still in first place coming over the slip wall and now with just one obstacle remaining that final obstacle being this multi-rig ring to pipe to rope it is a tough transition he does need to be careful on this but if he can pull this off he's leaving here with first place 300 points and all of a sudden he is tied with vijay jones for first place in the series look at all these fans here just to see this man claiming victory 300 points that come along with first place today in the west virginia beast the fourth race in the spartan u.s national series belongs to ryan atkins your champion on the day and now he has tied vijay jones who must be a very nervous man watching from home second place today if he can complete this obstacle after a win last time he raced here in 2019 easily his best race of the entire year we knew his training's been ramping up we knew how strong he has been so far on this course and of course today a very happy ryan woods second place a massive massive performance from him and it moves him significantly up the leaderboard in the national series those second place points are huge [Applause] [Music] tyler veerman somehow back in third place and he nails that spear and veerman has just claimed that third place if he can get through this last obstacle and with one obstacle between him and the finish line tyler veerman is in third position his first race of the year he ran in utah he took fifth place and now another opportunity to score some major points in this series a guy that's going to climb those leaderboards with one race remaining tyler veerman is just a couple swings away from that podium and there you have it third place from tyler veerman he flew all the way out here last night just for this race and could not be more excited for himself top three one last battle in this race today logan broadbent just seconds ahead of mark cadet for that fourth place spot broadbent seems to have reeled him in right near the end of this race and as a ninja warrior it's unlikely he's going to make any mistakes on an obstacle like this so efficient broadbent is and mark right behind him this is that big moment for broadbent and he makes it count ringing the bell taking fourth place logan broadbent having quite the season this year also taking third place in jacksonville mark cadet with a top five finish here a strong day for the army ranger as he crosses the line his last race before he moves across the country thank you all for joining us today for an
