Masters Qualifier Events 1 & 2

 

This year CrossFit introduced the first-ever Masters Qualifier. The top 200 masters athletes each age division—40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59 and 60-plus—had from Thursday, April 17 to Monday, April 21 to complete four events. Events could be completed in any order.

Masters athletes had five scores recorded to determine the top 20 in each age division. The first of five scores for each masters athlete was their final Open ranking. The other four scores were the final rankings of each event from the Masters Qualifier.

The 20 athletes with the fewest points at the end of the Qualifier received an invitation to compete at the CrossFit Games in Carson, California!! Winners have been announced and you can read about them here:
