Jack Zeldes Blasts His Way To Octathlon Paintball Win
Club games and distance — 40 miles to Waterbury — kept numbers low for the 4th event in the Jack Scott Octathlon of Champions.
But when the dust settled — and the final bullets were fired — Jack Zeldes was the top point-getter in today’s event: paintball. He picked up 10 points as MVP. That — along with the 5 participation points awarded to everyone who made the long haul north — moves him up to 5th place in the overall standings.
Also earning 8 extra points were Matt Bateman and James Lewis (tie, most wins) and Graham Gudis (MVP runnerup). Kenji Goto snagged 7 points for most head shots.
At the halfway point in the Octathlon, Goto keeps the lead (57 points). Lewis is still 2nd (52). But Gudis moves into 3rd place (42). Rounding out the Top 5 are John Fincher (33) and Zeldes (32).
Following them are Noah Schwaeber (30), Michael Reid (27), Gabe Pensak (26), Matt Hammer and Daniel Perez-Elorza (24), Nate Argosh (22), Patrick Beusse (19), Daniel Brill and Andres Marmelo (18), Carl Amacker and Ethan Kobak (17), Bateman (15), Joe Pravder and Denzel Robinson (11), Rees Chang (9), Andrew Puchala (7) and Grant Sirlin (2).
Today’s paintball was organized by Lewis. May’s event is mini-golf, led by Reid.
