Mat Fraser may have won his 12th event during his CrossFit career, but current leader Noah Olsen finished just behind him in Split Triplet.

Fraser beat the rest of the field by nearly a minute or more, but needs to have more athletes finish ahead of Ohlsen to close the gap. Ohlsen has a 55-point lead over Fraser with the 1-rep max squat clean event coming up tonight.
