Day 1 Results: SD/AZ Sectional
Clever puts on a show in SoCal.
Day one of the San Diego/Arizona Sectional proved to be an amazing showcase of some of the fittest human beings in the southwest. Although the 81 degree weather was above the average for this time of year, conditions were set for some outstanding performances. Today’s standings show the top five men and top five women are separated by only a few points after two very arduous workouts.
The first event included 1.5 (women) and 2 pood (men) kettlebell swings and 224lb/153lb deadlifts and a run. The heavy kettlebell swings proved to be a sticking point for many athletes, but several athletes still put out some amazing performances. The top time for men was: 7:56 by Raymond McConnell and the top time for the women was 9:08 by Kristan Clever.
The second workout of 7 rounds of 7 Snatch (63/94 pound) and 21 Double-unders highlighted the athletes propensity for skill and stamina. Multiple men and women completed the workout in under 6 minutes.
Top 5 Men
1. Michael Moseley
2. Thomas Daya
3. John Navarro
4. Christer Idland
5. Trevor Gelder
Top 5 Women

Does anybody know if it will still be possible to qualify for regionals if you could not make your sectional?

I would have thought Connor Martin would have finished first, easily dominating, after being a CrossFit Kid, raised on CrossFit!
