The penultimate stage of the season has begun, as the 2023 CrossFit Semifinals opened up with the North America East edition. The semifinal stage started off with a bang, since the North America East competition featured the strongest lineup. So, it also secured the most qualifying spots for the 2023 CrossFit Games out of the seven semifinals. Thus, the top 12 men and 11 women from the North America East Semifinal will be going through to the Games. Despite facing tough competition, Jeffrey Adler and Emma Cary managed to secure victory in the men’s and women’s divisions, respectively.
An all out war took place in both the men’s and women’s divisions, as no one was able to gain a comfortable lead at any point of the competition. However, Jeffrey Adler managed to come out on top of the men’s division with two event wins and 613 points in total. On the other hand, Emma Cary only won one of the seven events, but secured an additional two second place finishes. She ended up with 607 points in total, just six ahead of Danielle Brandon.
