After an incredible 5 weeks the Open concluded this weekend. In true Saskatchewan fashion the last WOD was celebrated with a BBQ and some light snow flurries. So how did 306 stack up against the best in the region the best in the country and the best of the World? Well let's take a look at the final standings.
As for World individual rankings we had three ladies finish incredibly high,
1. Phyllis Fowler finished 82nd in the World in the Master Women 60+ Category.
2. Sarah Robbins finished 121st in the World in the Master Women 45-50 Category
3. Janis Shirrif finished 122nd in the World in 50-55 Category.
In Canada West we also had two impressive finishes,
1. Courtney Bowman finished 11th
2. Laura Werkamp finished 13th
Team 306 finished with the following rankings,
104th in the World,
7th in Canada
4th in Canada West
There was also a ton of incredible individual performances and more PRs were set that we can count. My favorite moments were those in the last ten seconds of each WOD when everybody would be cheering each other on, athletes squeezing a few more reps and then crumbling in exhaustion. With most of our athletes being completely new to CrossFit our future looks incredibly bright. The WODs that we scored lower in were the ones that emphasized a high skill level, e.i. DU, MU, CTB pull-ups. These skills take a little longer to develop and I have no doubt that we are well on our way to World domination, yeah I know I aim high.
So now what... Well because of our team ranking we will be selecting 3 men and 3 ladies to represent Reebok CrossFit 306 at Regional's next month in Vancouver. This will be the content of a future message. As well stay tune for more info on the National Qualifiers for teams and Master's 40+ that will be held at 306 in June.
Great Work everyone!
