NorCal Team Competitions (aka Throwdowns)

Even though the NorCal Qualifiers are over with, preparation for the Games is still in full swing.

We have two team competitions scheduled this month (we fondly refer to them as throwdowns):

May 9: San Francisco CrossFit
May 30: CrossFit One World

As you can see, the first one is happening this Saturday at SFCF. It would be great to get a big turnout there this Saturday, as well as down at CF One World at the end of the month. These throwdowns are a great way to hang out with other CFers, get a great workout in, and compete against some strong teams out there!

The throwdowns are governed by house rules, meaning the hosting facility gets to come up with the workout. As we get closer and closer to CF Games time, I'm sure the workouts will start to be centered around the format of the team competition at the Games.

Get some!

Final, Final Results: Some Changes!

Jocelyn Forest and Jeffrey Leonard, the 2009 NorCal Qualifer champions, in action.


Well after a weekend of things running just about as smoothly as we could hope, I'm afraid Murphy's Law caught up with us after the day's competition was over and everyone was long gone from the Ranch.

After completing a three-hour audit of the master scoresheet and comparing it against the time cards for all of our top male and female competitors, we have two material changes to report. Both of these changes were due to athletes being assigned the wrong point totals for the Sunday workout, and both affect the top-5 standings on the men's side.

1. Angel Orozco has moved from sixth place to fifth place. Bevan Hart has moved from fifth place to seventh place.
2. Justin Riley and Darren Rosten have switched places. Darren has moved from third place to second and Justin has moved from second place to third place.

In our rush to get the results out there for the medal ceremony, we dropped the ball and assigned points where we shouldn't have. Our deepest apologies to the four athletes affected.

So here are the final results:

Top 5 Women

1. Jocelyn Forest
2. Candace Hamilton
3. Breanne Feudale
4. Elyse Umeda
5. Apollonia Helm

Top 5 Men

1. Jeffrey Leonard
2. Darren Rosten
3. Justin Riley
4. Joey Warren
5. Angel Orozco

Below is a link to the master score sheet for the full field.

Congratulations to these five men and women. They'll represent NorCal extremely well in the Games!
