Cheryl Brost putting up big weight and showing little girls it OK to go BIG.

I'm not certain but Cheryl Brost might not want me to show you this video. I'm sure she'll find things in her lift that she will pick apart, but for a moment, lets just appreciate that lifting 150+lbs she's done the largest Clean & Jerk done by a female in our box.....ever. She has the most professional athletic experience out of any of us, having competed in college soccer at Pacific Lutheran University and been awarded Sports Woman of the Year and three time Sports Hall of Fame Inductee during her time there. She's been a competitor at the CrossFit Games three times in 2010, 2011, and 2012 placing 7th OVERALL in 2011! Cheryl ruptured her Achilles tendon while competing to take 1st place overall at the North West CrossFit Regional in the open division in 2013 (see a CrossFit HQ video of this tragic accident by clicking HERE). Cheryl is the official spokeswoman of “AltrientTM". We can ALL feel blessed to have this outstanding athlete, AND her whole FAMILY in our midst and training at AllStar. Not a day goes by I don't appreciate the special circumstances that brought Cheryl here. She's Hawaiian. Although from Oregon, it's almost as if she's lived here her whole life. Her attitude and humble nature are admirable, she's full of Aloha, and she just fits right in our community. I love this video, because my 8 year old daughter Della had been stung by a jellyfish, was staying home from school, and is in the background on the rower. What a great way to raise a girl...in a CrossFit box...in the energy of Cheryl Brost putting up big weight and showing little girls it OK to go BIG.
