The men’s side of the Mayhem Classic saw a ton of great, back and forth work. Nobody was able to secure a true lead over the weekend, with Smith and Schafer being essentially neck and neck. Nevertheless, it would be Chandler Smith who scored the win. Although he was already qualified for the Games, though the Open, so his invite went to Luke Schafer regardless.
On the other hand, things were cut and dry for the women of the Mayhem Classic. Tia-Clair Toomey tore though her contemporaries, as she has begun to be known for doing, scoring six event wins. Despite that, it would be Danielle Brandon who ended up with the invitation to the Games, as both Toomey and O’Connell were already qualified.
All in all, most of the athletes who competed at the 2020 Mayhem Classic performed well. Congrats to the winners, as well as those earning their spots in this year’s Games. Following this event, the next of the CrossFit Sanctionals is the Strength in Depth event, on January 24th.
