The lead goes to a woman who has yet to break into the top three in any one workout. Samantha Petersen has kept the lead by never dropping out of the top 10. So far that has been a recipe for success as she sits on the top of the pile with a one-point lead over 2010 Games vet Ashleigh Moe who has won half of the workouts so far.
Right behind Moe is Becky Clark who continues to show us that she may not have any significant weaknesses. Her 100th overhead squat looked as clean as her first, and her efficient movement will surely help her get through “Amanda” tomorrow.
2010 Games competitor, Cheryl Brost, has made a huge recovery today. Yesterday, she took 24th on the thruster ladder with a disappointing 115lb. finish--dropping her far down in the standings. Now, she's in fifth place overall after taking 2nd on both of today's workouts. Given the small point spread between the top athletes (6 points between 1st and 5th place), Cheryl very well may be able to close the gap tomorrow and return to the Home Depot Center.
One thing's certain, all of the women will have to hit the workouts tomorrow with all they've got. Any minor slips from the leading athletes will allow those close behind to move up and grab the a berth to the Games.
