Jeff Evans: 23rd, Gretchen K: 36th, Chris Spealler: 21st, Tommy Hackenbruk: 23rd, Jenn Jones: 32nd, Alex Nettey: 24th, and Marcus Hendren: 107th

@dereklirus Speal is retired and Hackenbruck is back with his team again, right? Don't know about the others.

 

[umfug]

@aihi Hackenbruck implied on Twitter that he spent more time with his kid(s) this year.

 

[arkofthecovenant]

@aihi i listened to a podcast he was on recently and he did say that they might have a team this year.

@dereklirus Being a 5'10'' female after 3.5 years of crossfitting, I've come to the conclusion I'll never be as good as the short girls, and I'm okay with it.

 

[wildmanadventure]

@rogers2smith wanna go out sometime?

 

[dawn16]

@dereklirus It's pretty well known that Hack rarely trains with CF-style workouts. He's only going to slip further behind as the other athletes improve exponentially.

I am bummed about Jeff Evans. He's really fun to watch compete.

 

[dawn16]

I hate to nitpick, but the athletes aren't improving exponentially. They are improving incrementally. We are seeing tiny improvements at best

 

[johnthree16]

@dawn16 Which is ironic because the last couple years, you could get away with not doing "crossfit" and be successful...not anymore.

 

[clementia]

@dawn16 Jeff Evans is going to make it. There are at least 5 individual men in the top 20 in the SE going team.

 

[lawelawe]

@dawn16 Jeff Evans is probably going to make it. I'm pretty sure of at least three guys that are going team in the SE.

 

[dawn16]

@dereklirus You left off fan favourite Ronnie Teasdale

 

[greg53]

@dawn16 Man I hope he gets to go to Regionals... love seeing him compete.

 

[dawn16]

@greg53 Me too. I'd love to see him shove Dave Castro when he gets no repped. Are you not entertained?

 

[calebscuz]

@dereklirus What happened with Neal Maddox? Don't see him on the leaderboard either.

 

[brianak]

@calebscuz I think it was an injury. He said he needed surgery on Instagram and that he'll be back next year for Masters

 

[jonjones229]

@brianak

he'll be back next year for Masters

That's just going to be ridiculous

 

[greg53]

@calebscuz he said last year he was retiring from individual competition.

 

[be_a_light]

@dereklirus I'm just afraid we will be back to the regionals format where we end up with 3 out of 4 heats of 10 athletes staring at some moderately heavy barbell that they cannot lift to continue their workout. At least last year they made sure most of the athletes in the regionals were strong enough to handle the weights they programmed.
