In the fourth heat, Sam Dancer took the early lead, but it didn’t last long until Zak Carchedi took over. He ended up with a 9th place finish. Another favorite in the fourth heat, Scott Panchik, took 12th. Alex Anderson finished below that, in 15th.

Similar to on the women’s side, most of the qualifiers going into the final day of Central Regionals remain unchanged from the day before. Jacob Heppner and Zak Carchedi jumped up into the top 5, Graham Holmberg and Will Moorad dipped down to 7th and 12th respectively.
