Before being introduced to CrossFit in 2014, Sarah ran competitively – four years in high school and two as a Division I athlete at Gonzaga. She eventually retired from competitive running due to persisting injuries, then joined a CrossFit gym with two college buddies shortly thereafter. She was hooked on CrossFit’s functional strength and mobility focus. CrossFit also pushes her in a way her previous lifting routines never had and provides an opportunity to WoD with cool, like-minded people. Sarah is currently interning at Five-Alarm CrossFit and has had a blast getting to know the Five Alarm community while furthering her knowledge of the sport.
