| Movement #12 Bo Garman did what you expected him to do from last week, and passed #13 Andrew Math. There wasn't much between them, and Bo's 0.4 AF cut now gives him a tiny 0.1 lead. But it's enough for gold. #21 Marc Schwartz made a 4-month comeback at the end of last month by setting a PR. It wasn't big enough to get into the news, but this week Marc continued his comeback and scored another handful of PRs for a 1pt cut. He passed #22 Fernando Moritz dos Santos and is now a point clear of #23 Paul Tanney. #152 Paulo Roberto Presotto reached Hero D level, but is a few positions short of the top-150. Paulo made a 22pt AF cut from only 6 PRs. #155 Jivago Pacheco da Silva and #156 Pat Hewson both made small cuts to get a little closer to the top-150 as well, with Pat also becoming a Hero. #151 Dan Walker should be able to reach the top-150 again soon. Americans #166 Ian Gee and #175 Ben Davis are still moving up the ladder together. Ian made a big 48pt cut to advance 50 places. Ben moved up 20 places with a 23pt cut. Ben worked on getting 29 PRs, all low-Expert times. He got his first Hero D score last week. Ian got 28 PRs, 4 of which were Hero D. Further down the ladder, #425 Jacob McMillin, #434 McHenry Carlson and #440 Matt Stenning are all fairly close together. I'm not sure if they will remain close next week because they seem to be moving at different paces. Jacob and Matt were even, but Jacob pulled ahead with a 29pt cut compared to Matt's 15pts. McHenry stormed into town with a 162pt cut. It was his first submission in almost a year, so he had 32 new greatly-improved scores to submit.
