The first annual Summit Crossfit Summer Slam was held on July 30, 2022, and it was a huge success! Athletes from all across Asheville and beyond attended the event to compete, have fun, and challenge themselves. This year's Summer Slam featured competitions in Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, gymnastics, and more.
The athlete pool was composed of 31 two-person, same-sex teams from the following gyms:
Owners Leslie Marie Cardix and Donivan Ciolfi know how to organize a great event. All heats were managed perfectly, and the athletes had a ton of fun. In response to the event, Leslie and Donivan were both extremely happy with the event.
"We are so grateful for the volunteers who gave up their day to help us run this event smoothly," said Leslie. "It was so much fun to watch everyone compete and challenge themselves."
Donivan added, "We can't wait to do it again next year!"
If you're looking for a great Crossfit competition to attend next year, be sure to mark your calendars for the Summit Crossfit Winter War in January and Summer Slam in August 2023. You won't regret it!
