Congratulations to Mary Kate for being selected as the “Spotlight Athlete” for our CrossFit Kids program!

Mary Kate is 12 years old and in the 7th grade. She has been a part of our kids’ program since November of last year and we are so lucky to have her! Mary Kate is a role-model child.

What stands out most with Mary Kate is the tremendous growth that she has made with her confidence since starting 11 months ago. She is always positive and so very helpful to her coaches. I see her as a future coach! Mary Kate helps set up and clean up before and after our workouts. She is focused and driven, always doing the right thing even when no one is looking.

Her peers interviewed her and revealed the following: Mary Kate’s favorite thing about CrossFit Kids is being able to reach the pull-up bar without assistance. I think she gets taller each time we see her! Her favorite movement in a workout is pull-ups. When asked what she likes to see in a workout, her response was, “Anything, as long as there are no burpees.” She proclaimed that she likes to end class with a game of Dodge Ball or Capture the Flag… our two most popular games! Mary Kate’s favorite food is pasta and her favorite colors are black and white.

We are so proud of you, Mary Kate! Keep up the great work and keep being YOU!! <3
