Pure speculation: Based on the audio it sounds like Chris called out midfield downwind earlier than Nick Chris probably flew a wider pattern than Nick. Nick may have been looking to his left for Chris, when in actuality Chris was approaching from the right. My guess is they didn’t see each other until it was too late.
