Final Results

May 2, 2010 – Douglas County Events Center – Castle Rock, CO

The North Central Regional Games

Sunday – Day 3:

Sunday morning found the Douglas County Events Center converted into a bizarre manufacturing experiment that produced snatches, ball slams, pullups and 24” paralette jumps at break neck pace under the watchful eyes of a boisterous crowd and precise judging.  The inspiration of the morning came when Christopher Fabian of Air Force CrossFit wrestled with, shouted at, and eventually manufactured 20 close to bodyweight split snatches, for the first time in his life.  One athlete, 20 PRs, and it wasn’t even 10am.

In the final men’s heat of the morning, Patrick Burke of MBS CrossFit, cut 1:41 off the previous fastest time of the day and finished in 6:57.  Ricky Frausto of CrossFit Omaha, came in second in that same heat 28 seconds behind Pat.  The bar had been set high for the men’s final. 

 

The action picked up in the first heat for the women when Trina Vanomy of CrossFit Flathead and Angella Starmer of CrossFit Iowa battled side by side to finish their snatches before the cutoff time.  Surrounded by cheering supporters they both came close.  The first heat was won by Megan Guthmiller of CrossFit Omaha in a time of 12:14.  Emmalee Moore of Verve CrossFit won the second women’s heat in a time of 11:05.  Everyone is anxiously waiting to see how these times will hold up once the finals begin.

The first heat of the Affiliate finals exploded at 1:30pm with a symphony of deadlifts, thrusters, pull ups, and burpees.  CrossFit Valley Park took the first heat in a time of 7:50.  The second heat which had the top finishers from the first day’s events went off at a blazing pace with CrossFit Rockford finishing first in a time of 6:42, and CrossFit Omaha finishing second in 7:43.

The women’s final went off without a hitch and Jasmine Dever of Front Range CrossFit won the heat with a time of 8:09 and first place overall with a score of 1301.52.  But the hearts of the crowd were won by diminutive Megan John, an unaffiliated CrossFitter out of Fort Riley, Kansas.  Needing a booster plate to reach the pull up bar and easily 10lbs to equal the snatch weight, she had the entire east side of the Event Center on their feet as she bravely battled and beat the cut off time.  The roar of the crowd on her last lift was unbelievable. 

The top ten women’s finishers for the North Central Region are listed below.  The top four have qualified for the 2010 CrossFit Games in July.

The men’s final was no less spectacular.  Matt Chan of CrossFit Verve won the heat in a time of 6:35, and took first overall with a score of 914.42.  The shocker of the final heat was Ryan Lillienthal of CrossFit Parker, who started a minute and a half behind Matt in the staggered start and passed all other athletes to finish second with a time of 6:48. This gave him second overall and a total score of 1016.78.
