Summit Competition Video - 3rd place finisher Brian Orosco

by Tyson Cecka

Brian Orosco finished with the 3rd best overall time at the Summit Outdoor Invitational obstacle course competition this summer. Here's video of some of his runs

I'm really impressed with Brian's confidence in running long jumps - he was first to break the faster jump to the top of the silo in the beginning of the 1st course and he flies through the 3rd course even with the tricky footing. One of the few who took his time with the first runs through each course to establish them as well :)

Summit Competition Video - 4th place finisher Frosti Zernow

by Tyson Cecka

Frosti (Fresh) finished with the 4th best overall time (and took 1st in the 1st and 3rd individual courses)  at the Summit Outdoor Invitational obstacle course competition this summer. Here's video of some of his runs:

Frosti's sprinting speed was unmatched at this comp - easily taking 1st at the 1st and 3rd speed courses with his first attempt on both! (competitors get two attempts on each course) The climbing finale slowed him down for the final score but be sure to watch through as he blows away everyone on the 3rd course :)
