Coaches Highlights
A coaches' collection of shout-outs for the sportsmanship, spirit, and grit that make our community amazing!

Bomin Kim has been diligently working on her muscle-up technique for months, and was rewarded with getting her first during 18.3!
Craig McMahan has been positive force throughout the Open, working hard for every rep, and 18.3 was no exception.
Simone Kotraba was discouraged to learn that there were no scaling options for pull-ups in 18.3 and thought she had no hope of getting past them--instead she got her first pull-up and then 11 more!
Dan Appugliese was no repped on many overhead squats. With a big smile on his face and no sign of frustration, he continued to push himself to meet the ROM standards and made it back to DUs!
Carolyn Cassetina scaled 18.3 at FNL because she was unsure about the OHS at 80#. On Saturday, she did 18.3 Rx and made it through 3 Muscle Ups!

We had more PRs this week than we can keep track of, but here is a list of everyone we could think of who got their first pull-ups, first MUs, and PRed their overhead squats. Congratulations to all of you!
