Teen and Masters athletes are competing in the 2023 CrossFit Games

With age groups ranging from 14-15 to 65+, these elite athletes continue to provide prime examples of the health and fitness benefits of consistent, dedicated training.
As time marches on, several athletes have “aged up” and entered new categories, including 2022 14-15 Girls champion Lucy McGonigle and 2022 14-15 Boys champion RJ Mestre. Mestre has the added challenge of facing off against the reigning 16-17 Boys champion, Ty Jenkins.
