We are thrilled to announce that Twin City CrossFit instructors, Blake Morgan and Siera Nelson, have qualified for the upcoming HYROX World Championship Competition in Manchester, UK on May 27, 2023.

Blake and Siera have been training relentlessly for months to prepare for this event, which is expected to draw top athletes from around the world. The HYROX competition is a unique combination of endurance and strength challenges, consisting of eight different fitness tests that must be completed in succession. The tests include running, rowing, and various functional fitness exercises such as burpees and lunges.

Blake Morgan is a former Division I baseball player with years of experience in CrossFit. He was one of only 13 pitchers in the history of the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) to have over 30 appearances in a year. He is also CrossFit Level 1 certified and has been coaching at Twin City CrossFit for over a year.

Siera Nelson is a certified CrossFit Level 1 Trainer with a background in Kinesiology. She is also Functional Movement Screening certified and has been doing personal and group fitness training for years. With five years of CrossFit experience, she has become a force to be reckoned with in the fitness community.

As they prepare for this event, Blake and Siera are accepting donations to help cover their travel expenses. Donations can be made through their GoFundMe page https://gofund.me/194a2d96 .

“We are honored to have the opportunity to represent Texarkana, The Sportsplex, and Twin City CrossFit on the global stage,” said Siera Nelson. “We have been overwhelmed by the support of our community and are excited to make them proud.”

“We have been pushing ourselves harder and harder each day in training, and the goal here was to put ourselves through something that would tear us apart so we could become better and stronger in the end,” said Blake Morgan.
