Brian will be doing a Open rundown this week, find but before that even happens, we wanted you to know that June has qualified for the next level of the CrossFit Games for her age division – the Masters Online Regionals! 170th in the WORLD.

Gym record beyond a doubt. That would have put in 62nd place out of 11,000 Masters Men in the WORLD.
