Festivus II
CFLI sent a bad-ass crew up to CF Relentless in CT for the second annual "Festivus" competition. Of course we didn't leave empty handed, as the crew walked away with some serious hardware. Marty "Beast Bar" Accardi took 3rd place in the Men's Novice division, while Kelley LoRusso took 3rd in the Women's Intermediate and Taylor Kelley took home the shiny Gold in the same division. Great work by all!

Ian & Chris National Runners-Up
August 2011
So if 4th place is a great Nationals debut, how about a 2nd Place the following year? Ian and Chris proved that last year was no fluke, tearing through a tough field and taking Silver Medal, just a step behind the first place team. The National Championship teams from the last 4 years combined were in the field as well, but Ian and Chris were able to beat them all. Great work boys!

2011 Reebok CrossFit Games - Northeast Regionals
May 2011
The 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games was something to remember. To start off, CFLI had 4 individuals qualify for the Regional Finals, one of the highest out of all affiliates in the Northeast. There were 1200 men to start, and only 60 qualified for Regionals. Three of those 60 were Devin, Larry, and Brian. Out of the 800 females, only 60 moved on as well, one of those being Brianne.
The Regional finals was a long grueling weekend consisting of 6 workouts. In the end, Devin and Larry each placed in the top 25, while Brian and Brianne advanced to the final day of competition, with the top 14 from each division. CrossFit Long Island was the only affiliate in the Northeast to have a male and a female advance to the final day of competition. Brian finished in 13th overall and Brianne finished in 9th place. A very impressive showing by all!

Tough Mudder
May 2011
Nicole Lo Meli tears through Mt Snow alongside CFLI Coach Pat Scribner in the 2011 Tough Mudder Mt Snow. This GRUELING 10 mile mountain race was long and tretcherous, but the pair made it through. They each qualified for "The World's Toughest Mudder" in Texas, and Nicole's time was the FASTEST OVERALL FEMALE for the weekend, in which over 15,000 people ran. Unreal!! Great work guys!

Mid-Atlantic Hopper
November 2010
CFLI rallied up the troops and sent a solid group of competitors down to the Mid-Atlantic Hopper Challenge in Maryland. The Hopper Challenge is a great event in which the director literally picks the movements and skills out of a hat just minutes before the workout starts. With a strong field of over 100 competitors, CFLI brought their "A-Game" as usual, with Larry and Brianne both placing 9th overall, Brian placing 18th, and Devin taking 23rd. Well done all around!
