Pumpkin Deadlift Contest

The CrossFit Kids were challenged today with a pumpkin Deadlift contest to see who had the best form on a deadlift, with the pumpkin being the load. Each child got a chance to show their lift, all the other children who weren't lifting were the judges. The child with the best lift won the pumpkin of their choice to take home. I have NEVER seen their form look so good!!! They tried sooooo hard and it was a tuff call for the judges. Take a look:
