The Fittest Experience 2026 was this past weekend in Taylor, Texas. From Pro individuals to “Rookie” divisions to Masters and Rookie teams, there were athletes from all skill levels throwing down at the Williamson County Expo Center. In the Pro division, Bill Leahy and Katelynn Sanders took the title.
Leahy looked strong throughout, never finishing worse than 4th in any event, and ended up with three event wins. He beat Travon Benton, who took 2nd overall, by 39 points. In 3rd place was Illia Moskalenko.

Outside of the Pro division, there were a couple other notable names on the competition floor.
One of those was none other than John Young. JY was in the RX Men’s Team division with Matt Rattay and Ben Collins. Their team, “Mighty Mouse, Brick House and Ben” started off with a 2nd place finish (on a lifting event). They slid down the leaderboard a bit when the run/obstacle course came up in Event 2. However, they recovered after that and finished in 10th place overall.
And then there is your favorite (or least favorite) CrossFit Games commentator, Chase Ingraham. Chase laced up the shoes again and took on the Masters 40-44 division where he edged out Joseph Dappen in the final event to move up to 2nd place overall.
