This past weekend, seven athletes from CrossFit Maximus competed in the Ohio sectionals in Columbus OH.  Lincoln Brown, Mike Deime, Bo Hornback, Seth Parker, Matt Sharp, Lisa Hill, and Jennifer Smith all competed in three gruesome WODs, with four athletes qualifying for a fourth WOD.  They were joined by about a dozen CFM members that showed their dedication by making the three hour trip to support the competitors at the Arnold Fitness Exposition in Columbus Ohio.  All seven of our athletes successfully completed the WODs within the time alloted, as prescribed, without anyone receiving a DNF (did not finish).
