Hilary Achauer recaps the first CrossFit Kids and Teens competition for girls and boys ages 13-18.
It came down to a battle between Cole Dick and Garrett Janda. They had 5 minutes to find their 1RM squat clean. First, Janda cleaned 250 lb. Then Dick stepped up and cleaned the same weight, sending the two into a tiebreaker. Janda approached the bar, took a deep breath, and squat-cleaned 255 lb.
Impressive numbers, but even more so when you learn that Dick is 15 years old and Janda 18.
They were competing in The Gauntlet, a CrossFit Kids and Teens competition for athletes ages 13-18. The competition included three divisions: novice, junior varsity and varsity. The event was held on Oct. 16 at CrossFit Brand X in Ramona, Calif., and featured three workouts, with variations for the junior-varsity and novice athletes.
