Aaron Hagen, Gateway’s 2006 High School Champion, found himself in the winners circle for the second time in 2007 on Tuesday night. He faced off with Drew Skyles in the final as Drew had the better reaction time by over a tenth of a second, but took too much stripe at the top end and broke out running a 13.357 on a 13.41 dial. Hagen realized he wasn’t going to get there first and let Drew take it all the way. Hagen drove his ’99 Firebird past Paige Huff in round one as she turned on that dreaded red light by -.329 then squeezed by Beau Metcalf in round two to receive the bye into the final round.

Skyles was dominate off the starting line all night as he had the better reaction time than his opponent in each round. Current points leader, Dan Harris gave an easy win away in round one to schoolmate Dan Freeman as Harris went red by a slim -.006 seconds. With the win, Hagen leapfrogs Aaron Worstell to take over the #2 spot, while Drew jumps to fourth.
