It’s Moving Day at the 2024 North America West Semifinal

Good morning and welcome to the Morning Chalk Up Weekend Competition edition.

• With 100 points on the line on the first day in Carson, James Sprague, the 2023 Games individual rookie, took down wily veteran Brent Fikowski and the rest of the field, despite the elder stateman’s strong push toward the end. “The Professor” will look to make up those few points and more today.

• Only one event down so far for the women at North America West, too. And there was already a big surprise, as Caitlin Bernardin, a 31-year-old Semifinal rookie, took the win and lead into Saturday. Canadian Games veteran Emily Rolfe trails by three points.

• The second day’s action has already wrapped at the Oceania Semifinal in Brisbane, Australia, with favorite Ricky Garard trailing Bayley Martin and Jay Crouch by only three points at the top. Meanwhile, Maddie Sturt has put on a clinic with three straight event wins. And Raw Iron CrossFit Mayhem Thunder cruised to the top podium spot taking two event wins, two seconds, and a third. Get caught up below!
