Connor two years ago at the Crossfit South County “Fittest Of The Fittest” competition

We have known Connor now for a couple years. He has grown so much within his Crossfit career, in such a short amount of time. If you have not had the pleasure of meeting Connor yourself, you can find him fire-breathing through the 6:30 PM classes, he has really become one of our most dedicated athletes. Connor knows what it takes and puts everything he has into every WOD. He is definitely a kid that many will want to look out for in future Crossfit Competitions. He will be competing this weekend in the Pirates of Fitness Teen Challenge, which takes place at the NLI Warrior Soul. We are very proud of how far he has come, and we look forward to seeing him go hard this weekend.
