Patrick Vellner and Tia-Clair Toomey stormed to victory at Wodapalooza in Miami to secure their places at the 2019 CrossFit Games.
Canada’s Vellner, who was runner-up in Madison last summer to Mat Fraser, finished with 642 points after winning the “Circus Act” and taking second place in the final event, the “Robin”.
He ended the competition 124 points ahead of his closest challenger, Travis Mayer, in the men’s standings. Noah Olsen rounded out the top three.
