The Froning empire lives to dominate another year. The fact that Rich was able to claim the  men's title for four consecutive years, 'retire' from individual competition, and come back to win the affiliate cup is nothing short of incredible. As Tommy Marquez called it, he's the swiss army knife of athletes with a vartiety of strengths and versatility that gives him a leg up on all competition. 

Heading into the final day, Mayhem Freedom was not the favorite to take it all. The gladiators of Ute CrossFit sat at the top of the leaderboard, showing the consistency and skill needed to win such a coveted title- it also helps that they are no strangers to winning at The Games, and have clenched the affiliate cup twice already. 

Before the first event on Sunday, team Mayhem Freedom sat 36 points behind Ute, and needed to beat the Hack's Pack by 2-3 spots in each event in order to make a comeback for the win. And as you saw, they did what needed to be done.

In the solo events, Mayhem Freedom showcased its individual athletes, proving they are good enough to stand alone when neccessary, taking three first place finishes, including all team members placing within the top 10. The dreaded worm final was just the icing on the cake. 

Congratulations to Rich Froning, James Hobart, Matt Hewett, Elly Kabboord, Kristin Reffett, and Lauren Neal on the win. Way to kick ass.
