The CrossFit sanctional spanned over four days (December 11-14) and hosted 11 events which made for an exciting competition. But only the best prevailed victorious with Sara Sigmundsdottir dominating on the women’s side while Brent Fikowski took first place for the men. MisFit M10 Performance won the Team events.
Here are the top 3 finishers from each category…
