As many of you have heard already, our team finished in 19th place in the CrossFit Games Quarter Finals! We are proud of that result and have already begun training for the next phase…Semi Finals. This is an in person event and only the elite teams from around the world are invited to play. We have been invited to the MACC in Knoxville Tennessee. We will be competing in the Knoxville Coliseum May 27-29. Obviously we were hoping to compete in Minneapolis which is a little closer to home, but we’ll take what we can get. As we get closer to the competition we are going to hold a fundraiser on May 5, “Cinco de Mayo” at the gym with a bags tournament. Similar to the tailgate party we normally have in the fall to watch the hawks on a night game, anyone is welcome along with any food/beverage. The bags tournament will be a double elimination bracket style. Each match will be a best out of 3 games to 21. So, whoever has a bags set to donate for the evening, that would be really helpful :) You can drop off your bag set anytime before May 5. The cost to play is 10/person. The money raised will go towards the team’s entry fee to semi finals along with other traveling and living expenses like gas, food, air bnb. etc.

Leading up to the event we will be posting multiple items on social media of us training and giving shout outs to anyone wanting to sponsor us. So if anyone wanted to make a contribution through their business, we would indeed tag and mention you in our posts to help promote you and your business as well!

Finally, be on the look out for some kick ass tees / tanks to sign up for! We’ll have an order form very soon through google forms!

As always, thank you for the support. Kilo 2 has a real kick ass community and our team is going to prepare as best we can to represent all of you at the MACC! With a little luck, maybe we’ll punch a ticket to the CrossFit Games. WHOOT WHOOT!
