2011 CrossFit Games Open Wrap Up!

Congratulations to all who participated in the 2011 CrossFit games!  The past 7 weeks have been filled with a little anxiety and  a lot of gutsy performances.




Some highlights:

Jackson, Catherine, Melissa, Skye, Josh L, Gerrit and Eric all set new personal records.  Some clean and jerk of 165# and 110# for ladies, and some for overhead squats of 120# and 90# for ladies.  Some for both. (just to give you a comparison, one year ago, Mollie and Andrea may not have been able to do either!)

Scott Madden had a baby boy! (not totally related to the open, but still great!) Congrats Scott!

Jeff, Brandon, and Mollie have finished in the top 60 of our region, which makes them eligible to compete in regionals in Houston on June 17-19.

CrossFit NOLA finished 15th out of over 70 affiliates and teams, and has also qualified a team for regionals.  CrossFit NOLA finished as the highest ranked affiliate in Louisiana! 

The top men and women finishers will have first dibs on the team spots, below are rankings with the final placing, if you did not submit all your scores, you do not have a final ranking.  Pretty impressive for all considering that we had over 900 men and 500 women in our region.
