CrossFit Athlete Wins Gold at 2014 USAW Junior Nationals

“I do a lot of Olympic lifting, but I don’t do as much as most of these lifters do.” ~ Lauren Fisher

CrossFit athlete, Lauren Fisher, took three gold medals in her weight class (63 kg = 139 lb) and won best female lifter at the 2014 USAW Junior Nationals.

• snatch (75 kg = 165 lb) 
• clean and jerk (102 kg = 225 lb) 
• total (177 kg = 390 lb)

When a generalist beats a bunch of specialists at their specialty, you know she's doing something right.

A little background on Ms Fisher.


UPDATE: Ms Fisher finished 10th at the 2014 Junior World Championship - amazing for an athlete that doesn't specialize in Olympic weightlifting, from a country that isn't very competitive in Olympic weightlifting.
