The 2017 CrossFit Games Open has come to a conclusion. CrossFit Green Bay has been participating in the Open since 2011. Since then we’ve taken an individual once in 2012 and a team 4 years 2013-2016 to regionals. In 2014 we sent our team to The CrossFit Games. CrossFit Green Bay is the only gym in the state to send a team to the games! A lot of good things have come out of this little gym over the last 6 years considering we all started from scratch! I would like to send a personal thank you to Tina Schmidt. The one consistent thing since my first trip coaching at regionals has been Tina as she has been the only individual to go and has been on every team CFGB has sent. Congratulations on your run and I really hope you are enjoying your first year off in a long time. Oh and she still ranks number 1 in the state in Master’s Women 35-39! Anyhoo, like I was saying a lot of good things have come out of this gym and as of the final results they are still coming. It does not look like we will be sending a team this year to Nashville as we are currently sitting 25th in the North Central and after the individuals drop out we should be top 20 but still a few spots away from that top 15 needed. We did however qualify two Masters 55-59 division, Tom Fameree (#1 in the state and 92nd worldwide) and my very own step mother Paula Soletski (#2 in the State and 177th worldwide). Congratulations you two and as of Monday regional training begins. Few other notables in the Scaled Divisions Micheal Hartman took number 1 worldwide in Men’s Scaled 45-49 and Duncan Albanese took 5th in the world for Scaled Teen’s 14-15. Yes, I said in the world. Congrats you two that is a very impressive feat! I have broken down the top tens in all of the divisions that we had finishers below for your viewing pleasure. Overall, I’m very pleased with our gym’s progress and look forward to the coming years. The one unique thing that sets this gym a part from almost every other CrossFit gym out there, specifically the gyms with regional qualifiers is we are built from in house. We don’t recruit and we all follow the same programming. Everyone is given the same tools to succeed, it’s just up to them to use them. We have a very strong crop of athletes within our doors and I fully intend on making those that wish to compete succeed at the highest level and to those that have no interest in competition you will train just the same helping you to succeed at the highest level of overall general physical fitness. Congratulations once again to our Master’s Qualifiers and everyone of you that threw your hat’s in the ring in the 2017 CrossFit Games Open.
Have a great Friday!
