Now that the dust as settled from the CrossFit Open, we are able to see which of our athletes will be moving on to the next level of qualifications. Those that finished in the top 10% for their division will be moving on to the quarterfinals! Women Hayley B. 1,649th (Women under 35 division) Bri […]
