Recap: The Summer Games Throwdown
Our first ever Summer Games Throwdown and Block Party was a huge success! We hosted teams from neighboring boxes including CrossFit South Brooklyn, CrossFit Coney Island, CrossFit Merrick, Fiternity and Port Crossfit.
Depending on their division, teams started with a snatch or ground-to-overhead buy-in before moving on to round two, a shoulder and grip-taxing workout that concluded with a synchronized burpee AMRAP. The top five teams from each division advanced to the championship round, a seven minute power cleans/wall ball AMRAP.
It was inspiring to watch every team give it their all. And, we were thrilled to see CrossFit 718 represent on the leaderboard. Congrats to Sean, Sam, Hal, Jen, Tina and Anthony for your stellar performances!
Here are the results:
Scaled Winners
1st Place – Donuts and More Donuts / CrossFit 718
2nd Place – Coney Island Freak Show / CrossFit Coney Island
3rd Place – Smash / CrossFit 718
Rx Winners
1st Place – Quad City / Crossfit South Brooklyn
2nd Place – Five Won Ate/ FITERNITY

Sincerest thanks to our hard-working volunteers, RX Bars and all of our sponsors who helped make this event possible! We can’t wait ‘til next year!
