We are beyond excited to announce that CrossFit Huntsville athlete LJ Ray has qualified to compete at the 2021 No Bull CrossFit Games! LJ will be competing in the women's 50-54 age group Tuesday, July 27th through Thursday, July 29th in Madison, WI.

LJ has worked incredibly hard for years to become a well-rounded, stand out athlete who can truly do it all. She has a humble spirit but is driven and determined to reach her goals. She is incredibly focused but never misses an opportunity to encourage others or lend a helping hand.

We are so proud to have LJ representing CFHSV on the biggest stage in our sport! We have no doubt she will do an incredible job and are thrilled to be able to share in this experience with her. Congratulations, LJ!

Proud doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about this amazing accomplishment! LJ is an awesome athlete but more importantly she is an awesome person. She exudes positivity and treats everyone with kindness and respect. She has worked so hard, keeping her sights set on her goals even amid setbacks and adversity. I am so excited to watch her celebrate all her hard work on the competition floor in Madison in just a few short weeks! I have no doubt she will make her family, her friends, and our CFHSV community so incredibly proud. Congrats, LJ! So, so proud of you!

LJ! Wow… what an awesome ride it’s been so far and the trip has only begun! It was so much fun to watch LJ throw down and dominate the open WODs and I cannot wait to watch it happen again in Madison! She keeps getting stronger, faster and keeps gaining skills at a super impressive rate. She believes she can do it and she does. It’s that simple. She puts in work every single day and because of that she has found her way to the games. What an awesome experience this will be and I have no doubt she will represent herself, her family and CF Huntsville with great determination, grit and pride. I know she will leave it all on the line and have a smile on her face while doing it! Proud of you, LJ and can’t wait to support you in Madison!

Thank you guys so much for the sweet and encouraging comments. I would not be in this position without CFHSV. I’ve always had the drive and determination but the coaching, the atmosphere, the athletes, and the community have propelled me beyond my own belief. I want so badly to make you guys proud and believe me I will do my very best to do so. Mandee and Nate, you have gone above and beyond anything expected and to you I will be forever grateful. And yes Paul you are exactly right. I will have the best coach there. Period. These comments have given an extra boost today so thank you again. You guys are awesome!!
It’s tough but so am I!! ??
