May 27

So far, six of the required 30 have completed the qualifier course, but that leaves 24 spaces to occupy. As a reminder...

LEADERBOARD

MIDWEST REGION
Fair Park, Cotton Bowl, Dallas

The obstacles for the qualifier course are...

- QUAD STEPS: Four steps, seven feet between each one.
- LOG GRIP: Hold on past two jolting drops.
- BRIDGE OF BLADES: Or as it's called in Japan, "The Cross Bridge". Four alternating rotating planks
- JUMP HANG: A cargo net and tramp that could be the difference between getting the win and getting wet. 
- CURTAIN SLIDER: New for season 4, it is what it says it is, a giant sliding curtain.
- WARPED WALL: Fourteen feet, three tries.

The fastest 30 move on to the expanded course. If 30 people haven't completed the course, then the fastest of the furthest will advance.

Second half of qualifying begins with...

- Aaron Branch (35, Kearney, NE, corporate pilot) - FAIL Curtain Slider
- Chelsea Estes (27, Fort Wayne, IN, crossfit instructor) - FAIL Quad Steps

- Will Dodd (26, Jackson, WI, personal trainer/cartoonist) - FAIL Warped Wall
- Sam Frazier (21, Fargo, ND, martial arts instructor) - FAIL Curtain Slider

At this point, 30 people will not complete the course. So it'll be the fastest of the furthest.

- Matt Laessig (40, Madison, WI, internet executive) - FAIL Warped Wall
- Andrew Lowes (29, Fort Wayne, IN, gymnastics instructor) - COMPLETE (1:43.97)
- Joshua Grant (24, Ottawa, IL, engineering student) - COMPLETE (1:12.30)
- Brent Kelly (24, South Bend, IN, data analyst) - FAIL

Completing the Warped Wall, Adam Kezele (2:07), and Nick Kostner (1:48.48). Two runners remain.

- Matthew Derouen (26, St. Louis, electronics technician) - COMPLETE (1:11.94)

Finally, an ANW All-Star...
