Evolution won this round easily after handicap (21.49 - 20.67) with a.team4way in 2nd place.

posted: Mar 22nd, 2013 There were only three teams at the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2013 who mastered the double challenge of a slow competition draw and sharp judging with higher meet averages compared to the teams' specific scoring histories.
