Unbelievable Weekend!
Written by C.J. Martin
I am whooped, and I couldn’t possibly do justice tonight to how amazing our competitors and supporters performed this weekend. I promise I will write more when I am more rested, but for now, please join me in congratulating the following six individuals who earned the right to compete as individuals at the Southwest Regional Qualifier in May:
- Sage Burgener – 5th Place Overall Female (5th on Chipper)
- Lacie Miller – 9th Place Overall Female
- Nichole DeHart – 10th Place Overall Female
- Josh Edgeman – 5th Place Overall Male (4th on Chipper)
- Nuno Costa – 12th Place Overall Male (2nd on Chipper)
- Shane Farmer – 17th Place Overall Male (4th on Snatch/DU workout)
(Not bad on the chipper for a group that never does chippers and very rarely conditions for more than 12 minutes.)
And a huge congratulations to all of the other athletes, who made us just as proud with their performances as those who found themselves in the top 20. Please congratulate the following on their amazing performances:
- Calvin Sun
- Patrice Madrid
- Ben Sullins
- Josh Holcombe
- Jim Hollingsworth
- Andre Castro
- Frank Martinezcuello
And finally, to every member of the Invictus family who came out to support our athletes, THANK YOU!!! You are what makes this community so amazing.
Good job Invictus.
Amazing work everyone!! Can’t wait to see you at the games!!

I want to give an extra shout out to Shane who, not more than about 3 weeks ago could not do a handstand push-up but was able to get all 21 in the chipper. You da man bother!

I know this comes from all the athletes when I say Thank you CJ. The programming you put together could not have possibly prepared us any better. You have a great mind for analyzing what will be effective and how to position your athletes with confidence. Thank you again, can’t wait to keep working with you.
Thank you for all the supporters – your encouragement meant the world, we couldn’t do what we did without you being behind us 100%

Thanks everyone for the support all weekend. Hearing the roar of the Invictus crew was amazing once again. Sorry I couldn’t make it to Confidential, I could barely keep my eyes open, let alone go out. CJ, what can I say…oh I know. Your a programming genius. Cant wait to see what you have in store for us next.
