Winner — Aundre Benson
Benson was coming off a third-place finish at the 2024 Wasatch Warrior Pro event in Salt Lake City, UT. He rebounded for his second career victory by a single point. It was his first win since the 2019 Sacramento Pro show.
Thanks to this win, Benson earned qualification to compete at the 2024 Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 10-13, 2024. Benson can wait to step onstage until the Olympia or keep competing to block other athletes from qualifying. Only pro show winners qualify for the Olympia in the 2024 season.
Second Place — Phillippe Degila
This was Degila’s second show of the 2024 season. He previously finished sixth at the 2024 Wasatch Warrior Pro. This is his third runner-up finish in his pro career, and it was by the closest margin possible.
Degila had two second-place finishes in 2023 but never won an event. The fifth-year pro must win a pro show by Sept. 15, 2024, to qualify for the Olympia in Las Vegas.
Third Place — Jeremy Coleman
Coleman is trying to qualify for the Olympia for the first time since 2016. This is his second show of the 2024 season, but he came up short on the scorecards, though the bronze is a respectable finish.
The judges had Coleman ranked three points higher than fourth-place finisher Austin Witty. There is no official word on whether Coleman will continue to compete this season or what his next show will be if he does.
