The first match of the 2016 NPGL season was decided by two seconds on the final race.
The Rhinos’ Wes Kitts completed two 335-pound clean and jerks and raced to the finish line two seconds ahead of Kurt Garceau of the Boston Iron. The Race 11 victory gave the Rhinos just enough points to squeak by the Iron and win the match. Here is a recap of the match.
Here are photos capturing the match.
