CTC Day Thirteen: A Nearly-Perfect Stumpf Wins the Final Day, but No One Catches Mac, who Takes the 2013 CTC Overall Title

Stumpf was a UNC win away from a perfect Day Thirteen.  Bry was a UNC win away from the 2013 CTC Overall Title.  But, Miami came through, won the ACC, and Mac is our 2013 CTC Overall Champion!

Defending champion, Primm, put in another really nice showing, finishing in 3rd place, while Stumpf and GrossSr’s miraculous runs down the stretch (1885 and 1853 points, respectively over just the last 4 days – more than 150 more than anyone else in the field) fell just short of a title, it did vault them Stumpf to 4th place and GrossSr to 6th place overall.  Sneaking into 5th on the final day gives Doogan yet another Top-5 finish.

Caleb had the biggest climb on the final day, jumping from 21st to 14th on the strength of the Miami and Ohio St wins.  Waters jumped up 3 spots to finish in a respectable 17th, just a point behind Lynch for 16th.  RDoc climbed two spots for a final of 8th place.  GrossJr – thanks to Ohio St. and St. Louis – avoids a last-place finish on the final day.

PapaCim took a goose egg, falling behind GrossJr into last in his debut CTC.  GrossSr, after three other-worldly days, took a zero himself, falling from 3rd to 6th.  Lazarow and Dave fell 3 spots each, but barely stayed in the Top 20 at 19th and 20th.  Cheryl fell out of the top 20, as her zero took her from 19th to 22nd.  Alexi lost a Top-5 finish, as he slipped to 7th, and Teddy lost a Top-10 finish, falling from 9th to 11th.

Overall, it was quite the performance by Mac, who was consistent throughout the fortnight to complete the first ever 3,000-point CTC.  Bry has to settle for his 3rd straight 2nd-place overall finish.
