CrossFit Games OPEN 19.1 Results

The results for the CrossFit Games OPEN 19.1 Intramural are in!

HEART & SWOLE is in the lead (so far)!

Choosing the awards below is so hard – everyone has so much spirit and literally wears their heart on their sleeve.

?HARDEST WORKER 19.1 Award goes to Kirstin!! CrossFit Games open 19.1 hardest worker

“Kirstin M!!! I was so impressed with Kirstin during 19.1. She is fairly new to CF and unfortunately was getting “no rep” on the wallballs a lot. However, she never faltered! She didn’t show any exasperation whatsoever. She just kept throwing the ball and trying her hardest to hit the target. Kirstin showed what the definition of tenacity really means!”
