Scott Tetlow recorded his second-straight top-five finish with a time of 13:45.42 to place fourth, his best finish of the weekend. Ricky Garard bounced back from a disappointing finish in the previous event and finished fifth.
Roman Khrennikov had his worst finish of the weekend, placing 17th, which dropped him out of the podium spot on the overall leaderboard.
Vellner’s finish sets up a finale that will be interesting to watch as he looks to snap Medeiros’s streak of dominance in live competitions. Medeiros has won four-straight live competitions heading into the Rogue Invitational.
