Apologies to Sackuvich! I was given the wrong spelling of his name at the beginning of the event and just received the correct information.

Sackuvich makes his best pass of the weekend, but it's not enough, as Jeff Naiser's gets away first and holds him off for the win. MOV: 0.0752 seconds (approximately 20 feet).
