The North Central is widely regarded as one of the most competitive CrossFit Regions in the world.

In the women’s division, Elisabeth Akinwale, Stacie Tovar and Deborah Cordner-Carson are some of the big names, while podium finisher at the Games last year, Kyle Kasperbauer, spearhead’s the men’s half.

By the end of the three days of competition at the 2013 North Central Regional, experience prevailed with five of the six individual qualifiers from last year booking themselves a spot at this year’s Games.

Here are how the leaderboards stand at the end of the 2013 North Central Regional:

Alex Nettey also secured a place at the 2013 CrossFit Games, finishing third overall, while last year’s Games competitor Phillip Kniep ended the weekend in ninth spot.
