Important win for Waimea Wranglers Rough Rollers
According to Sadie Mae Gutz, the Team Captain for Waimea Wranglers, last nights win was a big one in more ways that most people could ever understand. They were up against the Kona Outlaws, which is the team Sadie split off from when she moved away from Kona. Sadie did something the Kona Outlaws thought couldn't be done, start a Roller Derby team in Waimea! She started with about 5 girls, and now they celebrated their 1 year anniversary last night with 20 girls deep! Go Wranglers! You've made us very proud!
Thanks to the practically 20 plus CrossFit AllStar athletes who came to the Honokaa Gym to cheer on our team! It was so much fun to do something OUT OF THE BOX!
AllStar Athlete Anuhea Young was called up to sing the National Anthem and did a beautiful job!

Earlier on Saturday....
We took our visitors Jessica and Evan down to Waipi'o Valley for some off roading and relaxing. Jessica and Evan both coach and work at TJ's Gym in California. These folks were on a team that competed at the Regional competition this year and it was awesome to connect and spend time with these great folks!
Grand Opening of CrossFit Kawaihae!
Additionally we took Jessica and Evan, along with many of our AllStar athletes down to the Grand Opening of the newest box born on Big Island, CrossFit Kawaihae. We were only there about 5 minutes before we knew we'd be performing FRAN together, just Evan and me. Josh said he wasn't up for FRAN but for some reason he started Snatching heavy bars after, so go figure. It was a great opening with lot's of familiar and new faces. Tammie has a great family atmosphere, and incredible support from friends. Looking forward to some friendly get togethers and competitions in the future with our new neighbors!
